In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Ingoldmells like this:
INGOLDMELLS, a parish, with a village, in Spilsby district, Lincoln; on the coast, 6 miles NE by E of Burgh r. station, and 11½ SE of Alford. Post town, Burgh, under Boston. Acres, 1,857; of which 450 are water. Real property, £3, 073. Pop., 319. Houses, 62. The property is subdivided. ...
The manor belongs to the Massingberg family. The coast has a small headland, called Ingoldmells Point, and presents objects of interest to naturalists. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Lincoln. Value, £182. * Patron, the Rev. J. Dodsworth. The church lost its chancel about the year 1706; has a transitional Norman nave, of six bays; was greatly improved in 1865; and contains some oak stalls, an octagonal font, and a curious brass of 1520. A handsome rectory house was lately built. There are a Primitive Methodist chapel, and recently erected schools.
