        Intriguing. The Norfolk Ingham is a tiny place.

        The Lincolnshire example isn't exactly a major site either, though are some high-status AS finds from there...

        The only thing I’m aware of at The Norfolk site is a medieval priory. Although there have been a few other finds I believe.

        It is in a cluster of -ingas settlements though. I’ll have to have a dig about. Excellent article btw.

        Has anyone ever suggested that the Norfolk and Suffolk Inghams could be Norse-influenced and derive from Ivarr/Hyngwar?

        Not heard that theory! But there is a very good investigation of these names by K. I. Sandred in Leeds Studies in English, 18 (1987) :)
