According to A Dictionary of British Place Names, Ingleby is derived from the Old Scandinavian "Englar + by", meaning "farmstead or village of the Englishmen", and Arncliffe, Old English "earn + cliff", meaning "eagles' cliff".[2]
All Saints' Church, Ingleby Arncliffe is a Grade II*-listed Anglican church. It dates from 1821 but includes 14th-century effigies.[3] The church is situated less than 0.5 miles (0.8 km) south-east from the centre of the village, and 60 yards (55 m) from the church is Arncliffe Hall, a Grade I listed house from 1753 to 1754, designed by John Carr, that replaced a 16th-century house of the Mauleverer family.[4][5]
At the centre of the village is the Grade II listed Ingleby Arncliffe Water Tower, built in 1915 to supply water to the village.[6] Also in the parish are the Cleveland Tontine, a historic coaching inn,[7] and The Blue Bell Inn, designed by Walter Brierley.[8]
