notes:-  
Richard Bateman, born in Ings, became a merchant in Leghorn. In 1740 he shipped slabs of Carrera marble for the chapel floor.
There is an often told tale that he was poisonned by the captain of the ship carrying the marble, who seized the cargo. ... This is not true.

notes:-  
Perhaps built here about 1616, a document in the Diocesan registry certfied by the vicar of Kendal, 1717:-
"Ings, in Hugill, so called because of its position among the meadows. The Church was built about 100 years ago. ..."
It was rebuilt, by Rowland Wilson, about 1650. It is restyled in the georgian manner by Robert Bateman, 1743. It gained permission for baptisms, then marriages, and then burials, from 1650s-1791. Refurbished 1842, in 1876-77, and major work in 2102.
