RAF Ingham

In the Second World War the village became home to RAF Ingham, a satellite airfield of the Royal Air Force base at Hemswell. Ingham consisted of three grass runways, and three Polish squadrons (including No. 300 Polish Bomber Squadron) from 1st Polish Wing were based here, joined later by No. 199 Squadron RAF. In 1944 it was renamed RAF Cammeringham. The station effectively became unusable by 1945 as the short grass runways had deteriorated. After the war, demobilised Polish aircrew lived here.

Amenities

The parish church, on Church Hill at the east of the village, is dedicated to All Saints. Just to the west of All Saints is a Methodist church. Ingham Primary School is at the south of the village green next to the village hall, and on the opposite side of the green is a small village store. The two village public houses are the Black Horse[3] and the Inn on the Green.[4] A self-catering vacation establishment is near the Inn on the Green.

Within the parish at the north-east of the village, and on opposite sides of the B1398 road, is a distribution centre (on the former airfield) for an outdoor toy manufacturer and a rescue and boarding kennels. A centre dedicated to the retired RAF Station is open to the public on Sunday mornings; it has a small cafe and includes information on the Ingham's history. A bed and breakfast establishment is at the south from the village.
