In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Ingham like this:
INGHAM, a village and a parish in Tunstead district, Norfolk. The village stands 1. mile NE of Stalham, and 16 NE of Norwich r. station; and has a cattle fair on Trinity Monday. The parish comprises 1, 503 acres. Post town, Stalham, under Norwich. Real property, £5, 289. Pop., 464. Houses, 110. ...
The property is divided among a few. The manor belonged formerly to the Inghams and others. A college, or priory, for the redemption of captives, was founded here, in 1360, by Sir Miles Stapleton; and was given, at the dissolution, to the bishops of Norwich, in exchange for other property. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Norwich. Value, not reported. Patron, the Bishop of Norwich. The church is very good; has a lofty tower; and contains two canopied brasses of the Stapletons, an effigies of Sir O. Ingham of the time of Edward II., and an effigies of Roger de Boys. There are a Baptist chapel and 17½ acres of poors' land.
