The population had increased to 618 at the 2011 Census. For the objectives of city government, it falls within the district of North Norfolk. The town sits on fairly high ground south-west of Holt. The place-name 'Melton Constable' is first confirmed in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it looks like 'Maeltuna'. This may suggest either 'middle town' or 'mill town'. There is a referral to 'Constabularius de Melton' in 1197, as the land was held by the constable of the bishop of Norwich. Melton Constable Hall is considered as the finest sampling of the Christopher Wren design of house. The church of St Peter's Melton Constable is located within Melton Constable park; it includes numerous monuments to the Astley family, who previously lived at Melton Constable Hall.
