In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Inskip like this:

The manor belongs to the Earl of Derby.—The chapelry is larger than the township, and was constituted in 1850. Pop., 780. Houses, 158. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Manchester. Value, £105. * Patron, the Vicar of St. Michael-on-Wyre. The church is a neat edifice, of nave and chancel, with a belfry. There are a Baptist chapel, a national school, and some small charities.
