The origin of the name Inglewhite is uncertain. One popular interpretation is that the name means 'white fire', from the Gaelicaingeal meaning 'fire'. It is thought to refer to will-o'-the-wisps that were once prevalent on the village green.
History
The road names of Button Street and Silk Mill Lane indicate industries that once thrived near the village.[1] The Congregational Chapel on Silk Mill Lane was founded in 1819.[2] The village forge, which made ammunition boxes during the World War I, closed in 1992. The building housed a café for several years but is now closed.[1]
Sites of special interest
In 2011, Preston City Council designated eight buildings in the village as sites of special interest:[3]
The public houses The Queens Arms and The Black Bull closed early in the 21st century, leaving only The Green Man.[4]
Community
The village is closely linked to the nearly village of Whitechapel. WICE (Whitechapel and Inglewhite Community Enterprises) has been formed as a community organisation to enable a sustainable and resilient community.
