Inglesbatch is a small hamlet near Englishcombe in northerm Somerset. Its nearest town is Bath, which lies approximately four miles north-east of the hamlet. Inglesbatch Farm has an acreage of over 1,000 acres.
History
Inglesbatch, like the neighbouring Englishcombe, probably derives its name from the Anglo-Saxon personal name "Ingwald", as in Ingwald's batch,[1] with batch possibly denoting a hillock[2] or stream or valley.[3]
The earliest record of a settlement at Inglesbatch was recorded in 1290.[4] In 1530 there is reference to the village having its own manor, but by 1611 it appears to have been subsumed into the lands of Englishcombe Manor.[5]
Buildings
Allandale is a detached house built in the early 19th century.[6] Home Farmhouse is slightly later having been built in the mid-19th century.[7] Both are Grade II listed buildings.
A Baptist chapel was built in the village in 1813,[8] and has now been converted into a private dwelling.
