Popular hostelry in Ingham

White's directory of 1856 lists 'Maltby Henry, sawyer and beerhs' (a sawyer saws timber but beerhs?). After 1868 and before 1872 he is 'joiner & vict. Black Horse' until after 1889. It probably became a pub in 1869 when laws sort to control the volume of the Beerhouses established with the 1830 Act. 1896 James Cottingham is listed here and 1905-1909 Henry Rayson, 1913-1919 John Miles Lester. The 1885 OS map shows a pub with the same High Street footprint as existing without the rear extensions. Reputedly the Black Horse was a watering hole for Guy Gibson (of Dam Busters fame) who was based at Scampton March to June 1938.

Like most Cliff-edge villages Ingham is built both in brick and stone.

This OS cut mark can be found on the SE face of the Chapel. It marks a point 35.131m above mean sea level.

Late 18th or early 19th century Grade II Listed public house. Once known as the Generous Briton, set in the brick bar is a Headstone dating back to 1820. In 1856 White’s lists two victuallers in Ingham at the Wind Mill and the Sun. In 1872 it indicates the Windmill is ‘Cliff’ its current location. Mrs Martha Hodgson is listed as ‘beerhouse’ and Henry Maltby (‘sawyer and beerhs’ in 1856) is now the Black Horse victualler. A ‘beer retailer’ is listed in all the directories I have up to 1919 leading me to suspect this to be, up to then, the unnamed Generous Briton, an Ale House since at least 1856. In 1985 the pub was revamped to a food-led pub and renamed to The Inn on the Green. Under new ownership in 2005 it was incorporated as a limited company in 2009.

Grade II Listed early 19th century cottage. The associated farmhouse was about 1748 but this limestone former milking parlour and granary was built in about 1850. In 2008 photographic recording was carried out before "conversion to a single bedroom dwelling", however it is now marketed as a two bedroom holiday let.
