Ingleby Greenhow is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. It is on the border of the North York Moors and 3 miles south of Great Ayton.
The parish of Ingleby Greenhow has records of a John Thomasson de Grenehow, a member of the clergy, who in 1376 "had to appear before a Commission appointed to be tried with several others for either poaching or cutting down timber, or destroying property belonging to Peter de Malo Luca the 6th, of Mulgrave Castle".
The name may derive from the Saxon for Englishman's green hill. How, derived from the Old Norse word haugr, means hill or mound.[1]
The parish church, St Andrew, was almost entirely rebuilt in 1741, but has an early Norman chancel arch inside.[2]
