Ingrave is a village in Essex, on the A128 road, two miles south-east of the new town of Brentwood. There is also the adjoining village of Herongate nearby. In 1931 the parish had a population of 692.
Ingrave's name is derived from that of the original manor in this area, "Ging-Ralph" or "Ralph’s-ing". The manor was originally owned by the Mordaunt family but was acquired by the Petre family in 1573. The Petres built Thorndon Hall (now luxury apartments) on the site in 1770.
