Ingworth

Ingworth is a village and a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk.

Ingworth is located 1.7 miles (2.7 km) north of Aylsham and 14.3 miles (23.0 km) north of Norwich.

Ingworth's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for Inga's enclosure.

In the Domesday Book, Ingworth is listed as a settlement of 16 households in the hundred of South Erpingham. In 1086, the village was divided between the East Anglian estates of Roger Bigod and Reginald, son of Ivo.

A watermill was listed in Ingworth on the River Bure as far back as the Domesday Book. The most modern mill building was built in Seventeenth Century and demolished in 1912.

Due to its small size, separate population statistics are not collected for Ingworth.

The northern border of the parish is marked by the River Bure whilst the northern boundary is the Weavers' Way.

Ingworth's parish church is dedicated to Saint Lawrence and dates from the Thirteenth Century. St. Lawrence's is located on Banningham Road and has been Grade II listed since 1960. The church no longer holds Sunday service.
