There are three entries for this Ingham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TL8570/ingham/] [accessed 31 May 2024], one of which reports "1 church. 0.2 church lands" in it. Listed in Cautley (1982) as a baptismal font of the 12th century.

[NB: a 2018 photograph [cf. ImagesArea] appears to show the font just left [south] of the W doorway]
