ST MARY'S CHURCH
Overlooking the River Greta stands Ingleton's historic church. The current building dates to 1886 but it incorporates a much older 12th-century building. The Norman font remains from that first church. The font is finely carved with scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary. Another highlight is a copy of the famous Vinegar Bible of 1717, so named because the person who transcribed the Parable of the Vineyard mistakenly wrote 'Vinegar' instead of 'Vineyard'.

"HISTORY
The first known settlement here came in the Iron Age when the Brigantes tribe established a hill fort on Ingleborough. When the Romans defeated the Brigantes they erected a fort beside the hill fort. Ingleton was a strategic river crossing and several major Roman roads passed through the area. During the Elizabethan period the manor of Ingleton was owned by the Lowther family, but the Lowthers supported the Royalist cause in the Civil War and were forced to sell the estate. The area became a centre for coal mining, and later for milling."
