Inskip was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Inscip.[2] Its area was estimated in that survey to be two carucates of land. From 1281, the village was owned by Richard Butler of Rawcliffe Hall.[3] He received it from William de Carleton as a dowry of his bride, Alice.
Inskip's church is dedicated to St Peter. It was built in 1848 and was financed by the Earl of Derby and Archdeacon Hornby.[3] It has been designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage.[4]
