Inglewood Family History

From Inglewood in Kintbury (Berks) which is recorded as Ingelflode in 1284 and Ingleflodde alias Inglewodde in 1587 or Inglewood Forest (Cumb) which is recorded as Englewod' about 1150. The Berks place takes its name from an earlier place-name Ingle (from Old English *ing ‘peak’ + hyll ‘hill’ or from *ingel a derivative of *ing) + Old English flōde ‘channel of water’.

The Cumb place-name derives from Old English Engle ‘the Angles’ (genitive plural Engla) + wudu ‘wood’.
