History

The name "Ingerthorpe" means 'Ingrid's outlying farm/settlement'. Earthworks that are purported to be Ingerthorpe medieval village are visible on historic air photos, however they have been listed as rejected or doubtful. Ingerthorpe is not recorded in the Domesday Book and it was not mentioned before the late 12th century. Ingerthorpe was formerly a township in the parish of Ripon; from 1866 Ingerthorpe was a civil parish in its own right until it was abolished and merged with Markington with Wallerthwaite on 1 April 1937.
