Ingleby, Derbyshire is a Hamlet on the south of the River Trent on a rise between Stanton by Bridge and Repton. It contains the privately owned John Thompson [1], Public House and the Ingleby Art Gallery[2].
It is the location of Anchor Church[3], a small series of caves in the sandstone which were the homes of anchorites. The word Ingleby means 'Village of the English'[4] . Nearby places include Stanton by Bridge, Ticknall and the Foremark Reservoir
[edit] History
Vikings erected 59 burial mounds in Heath Wood [5] and the grave goods comprised remnants of swords and wire from Southern Sweden.
In the Domesday Book[6] Ingleby is mentioned a number of times, for instance "In Ingleby are 3 bovates of land to the geld. Land for 4 oxen. The soke belongs to Repton. There 3 sokemen have 1 plough and 4 acres of meadow and there is 1 acre of water meadow." It is also listed under the lands of Nigel of Stafford along with Foremark, Ticknall and Ravenstone
In 1789, Ingleby consisted of just 26 houses[7]. In 1827, Sir Francis Burdett, Bart. M.P. was the Lord of the Manor residing at Foremarke Hall[8] By 1846 the population had grown to over a hundred and fifty but the number of dwellings (mostly thatched) had risen only slightly to 28. There is mention at this time of an elm tree which is reputed to be over 600 years old[9]. The tree is last mentioned in 1857.
In 1891, it was reported that the population in 1881 (the last reported census) was 104. Colonel Sir Francis Burdett was still Lord of the Manor and a school that was named after him ran in the village. Erected in 1835 it had an average attendance off 22 pupils but space for four more[10]. In 1935 the population was reported as 98[11] with the nearest railway station at Chellaston; the nearest post-office at Ticknall and the nearest telegraph at Milton.
