**Inglesbatch** is a small hamlet within the [civil parish](/source/Civil_parish) of [Englishcombe](/source/Englishcombe) in the [Bath and North East Somerset](/source/Bath_and_North_East_Somerset) district of [Somerset](/source/Somerset), England. Its nearest town is [Bath](/source/Bath,_Somerset), which lies approximately 3.7 miles (6.0 km) north-east from the hamlet. Inglesbatch Farm has an acreage of over 1,000 acres (400 ha).[1]

## History

Inglesbatch, like the neighbouring [Englishcombe](/source/Englishcombe), probably derives its name from the [Anglo-Saxon](/source/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]

## Buildings

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](/source/Listed_building).

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

## Climate

Being 4 miles (6.4 km) south-west of [Bath](/source/Bath,_Somerset) the climate of Inglesbatch does not differ greatly to the [climate of Bath](/source/Bath,_Somerset#Climate).

## Notable residents

[Katherine Evans](/source/Katherine_Evans_and_Sarah_Cheevers),[10] a famous [Quaker](/source/Quaker) who was imprisoned in [Malta](/source/Malta) in 1658 under the [Spanish Inquisition](/source/Spanish_Inquisition) was from Inglesbatch.[11]

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