Holy Trinity Church, Ingham, Norfolk
Ingham written as ‘Hincham’ in the Domesday Book, means ‘seated in a meadow’. Nothing of this period survives in the church, the oldest part of which now seems the stretch of walling at the South West corner of the chancel.
This is made of whole flints, as against the knapped flint of the rest of the building, and contains traces of a blocked priests doorway.
In spite of the herringboning of some of the rows of flints, it is probably not older than the thirteenth century.
The rest of the body of the Church was rebuilt by Sir Oliver de Ingham after the Black Death. The south aisle and clerestory were rebuilt in the 1870s.
