Although the present church building dates from 1886, it is possible that a 12th century chapel stood on the site. Evidence for this is the fine, old, Norman font which dates from 1150. There is firmer evidence to suggest that a 13th century Chapel of Ease was established. The oldest remaining part of the church building is the 15th century tower of perpendicular style. In 1743 the church was rebuilt, this building itself being replaced in 1886. http://www.achurchnearyou.com/ingleton-st-mary-the-virgin/
