Ingleby is a hamlet and civil parish in South Derbyshire, England. Situated on the south of the River Trent on a rise between Stanton by Bridge and Repton, Ingleby contains the privately owned John Thompson public house and the Ingleby Art Gallery.
It is the location of Anchor Church, a small series of caves in the sandstone which were the homes of anchorites. The word Ingleby means 'Village of the English'. Nearby places include Stanton by Bridge, Ticknall and the Foremark Reservoir.
Vikings erected 59 burial mounds in Heath Wood and the grave goods comprised remnants of swords and wire from Southern Sweden.
In 1009 Æþelræd Unræd (King Ethelred the Unready) signed a charter at the Great Council which recognised the position and boundaries of Weston on Trent as it was given to his minister, Morcar. The land was listed as eight at Weston upon Trent, and a hide at Morley, Smalley, Ingleby, Crich and Kidsley.
In the Domesday Book Ingleby is mentioned a number of times, for instance "In Ingleby are 3 bovates of land to the geld. Land for 4 oxen. The soke belongs to Repton. There 3 sokemen have 1 plough and 4 acres (16,000 m2) of meadow and there is 1-acre (4,000 m2) of water meadow." It is also listed under the lands of Nigel of Stafford along with Foremark, Ticknall and Ravenstone.
