Etymology
Possibly 'Ingi's outlying farmstead', v. þorp . If the early form Ingelthorpe is significant (and cf. the late Inglethorp (e ) spellings), then the first el. could be the OScand pers.n, Ingjaldr or Ingulfr (possibly also present in White Ingle Dale in nearby Ryhall f.ns. (b)).More likely, however, is OScand Ingi , a short form of masculine pers.ns. in Ingi - such as Ingimarr , Ingimundr .
