"INGHAM, 2 miles E. of Stalham, 9 miles S.E. by E. of North Walsham, and 16 miles N.E. by N. of Norwich, is a scattered, but pleasant village, with several neat houses, occupied by the owners. Its parish has 509 inhabitants, and 1503A., of which 1000 are arable. The Church (Holy Trinity,) is a large and handsome Gothic fabric, with several antique monuments, two of which have the effigies of Sir Oliver de Ingham and Roger le Bois, the former of whom rebuilt the Church in 1360, and annexed to it the College, which he had founded here for a prior, a sacrist, and six canons of the Order of Trinity and St. Victor, for the redemption of captives from Turkey. . . . Previous to its being made collegiate, the Church was a rectory; but it is now a curacy, certified at £28, and augmented in 1810, '17, and '20, with £600 of Queen Anne's Bounty, all vested in land, except £89. 6s. 1d. still at interest. The Rev. Edward Wymer, B.A., is the incumbent, and the Bishop of Norwich is patron, and also appropriator of the tithes, . . . Here is a Baptist Chapel."
