Moving in Ingerthorpe: what to know first
Ingerthorpe is on level ground, at much the same height as Markington, and Thwaites Lane runs out to it from the village for about 1.25 km as a tarmac lane about 6 metres wide. Beyond the hamlet Thwaites Lane carries on east to the A61. The farms are reached by their own tracks, private or permissive, so say how far the house is from the lane and whether the van can turn at the end.
Ingerthorpe: the local picture
The name means Ingrid's outlying farm or settlement. Ingerthorpe does not appear in Domesday and is first mentioned in the late 12th century, as a township of the old parish of Ripon. It became a civil parish in 1866 and had just 64 people in 1931. Earthworks once put forward as a lost medieval village have since been listed as rejected or doubtful.
Thwaites Lane is the tarmac road. Horse Mill Lane is a restricted byway with a sealed surface, and Strait Lane is a bridleway, so neither is a lane to send a long van down without checking first. Thwaites Plantation and Markington Beck are close by, with Marlow Hill marked beyond, and St Bernard's Way walking route and the National Byway cycle route both pass through.
How the van gets to Ingerthorpe
Everything comes through Markington. From Bradford the van reaches the A61 by Pool and the B6161, heads north, leaves on the B6165 and uses Scarah Bank and Dole Bank to reach Markington's High Street, then follows Thwaites Lane out of the village for the last kilometre or so.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 50 to 65 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Ingerthorpe
Old deeds call Ingerthorpe a parish. Has that changed?
Yes. Ingerthorpe was a civil parish from 1866 until 1 April 1937, when it was merged into Markington with Wallerthwaite. Today HG3 3PF is in that parish and the Masham & Fountains ward of North Yorkshire Council.
Does the van have to go through Markington to reach Ripon?
No. Thwaites Lane carries on east from Ingerthorpe to the A61, so Ripon is about 7.5 km by road without going back through the village.
Where are the nearest shop and school?
In Markington, along High Street: the post office and general store, and the Church of England primary and nursery school.
