Inglesbatch

Inglesbatch, like the neighbouring Englishcombe, probably derives its name from the Anglo-Saxon personal name "Ingwald", as in Ingwald's batch,[2] with batch possibly denoting a hillock[3] or stream or valley.[4]

The earliest record of a settlement at Inglesbatch was recorded in 1290.[5] 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.[6]

The converted chapel

Allandale is a detached house built in the early 19th century.[7] Home Farmhouse is slightly later having been built in the mid 19th century.[8] Both are Grade II listed buildings.

A Baptist chapel was built in the village in 1813,[9] and has now been converted into a private dwelling.

Being 4 miles (6.4 km) south-west of Bath the climate of Inglesbatch does not differ greatly to the climate of Bath.

Katherine Evans,[10] a famous Quaker who was imprisoned in Malta in 1658 under the Spanish Inquisition was from Inglesbatch.[11]

Bill Bailey, a British surfer known as "the father of British surfing" grew up in the village.[12]
