'''Ingleby Barwick''' is a town and [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]] in the [[Borough of Stockton-on-Tees]], [[North Yorkshire]], England. It is south of the [[River Tees]] and north-east of the [[River Leven, North Yorkshire|River Leven]].

Large scale development of the town started in the late 1970s on farm land south-west of [[Thornaby]],  the first development being officially opened on 30 July 1981 by the mayor of Stockton-on-Tees.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/nostalgia/ingleby-barwick-1970s-planning-wrangling-10359933|title=Ingleby Barwick: 1970s planning wrangling that saw tiny parish develop into bustling estate|date=3 November 2015|access-date=3 November 2020|website=[[TeessideLive]]}}</ref> At a parish council meeting in February 2007, the parish gained town status in with the passing of a resolution under the [[Local Government Act 1972]] s245(6).<ref>Ingleby Barwick Town Council Minutes, 21 February 2007, Page 7, Minute 174 – Town Council Status</ref><ref name=":3">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-444000-513000/page/4|title=BBC Domesday Reloaded – Ingleby Barwick 1986|access-date=30 January 2021|archive-date=19 March 2012|archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120319132751/http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-444000-513000/page/4|url-status=bot: unknown}}</ref>

==Etymology==
Ingleby Barwick was originally two settlements under a single joint parish, it is common to shorten the name to Ingleby in speech unless disambiguation is needed. Ingleby is derived from [[Old Norse]] Englar+by, a group of [[Angles (tribe)|Angles]]' place. Barwick is of [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] in origin, Bere is Old English for barley and Wick means farm.<ref name=":0" />

A '-by' suffix is a [[homophone]] to the word 'bee' and such place with the suffix are common locally: [[Maltby, North Yorkshire|Maltby]], [[Thornaby]] and [[Coulby Newham]]. The [[By-laws in the United Kingdom|by-laws]] are remnant of by's use as a word for a place type, the word itself has come to be pronounced in this case as a homophone to 'bye'. Ingleby is a common name around Yorkshire. [[Ingleby Arncliffe]] and [[Ingleby Greenhow]] are notably within a ten-mile distance from the town and in the same county, North Yorkshire.<ref name=":0">A Dictionary of British Place-Names, A.&nbsp;D. Mills & Adrian Room, Oxford University Press, 2nd Ed 1998</ref>

This name is pronounced two ways. One way Barwick is pronounced is Bar-ick, this loss is traditional and also seen with [[Berwick-upon-Tweed]]. The second way of pronouncing is closer to how the individual words evolved in English and how the name is spelt, Bar-wick. This reflects the name's origin as two separate words. Both ways are common in Ingleby Barwick itself.<ref>{{cite web|date=27 August 2020|title=How should Ingleby Barwick be pronounced? No controversy about first part, but there is about the second|url=https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/how-should-ingleby-barwick-pronounced-12941938.amp|website=[[Teesside Gazette]]}}</ref>

==History==
===Prehistoric and ancient===
The settlement of Ingleby Barwick has been occupied for thousands of years. There are traces of human occupation from as far back as the [[Stone Age]]. Work at a former farm discovered prolific multi period [[flint]]work and [[Iron Age]] field patterns in the town.<ref name=":1">Archaeological Services. 1997. Ingleby Barwick Villages 5 and 6. Land near Quarry Farm and Barwick Farm: An Archaeological Evaluation. University of Durham. Unpublished Report.</ref>

A salvage excavation was carried out on the former Windmills Fields of the town, at the end of 1996. Five individual burials were found along with a wooden [[cist]], these finds were accompanied by objects containing stone, jet and copper alloy of high status. This site was considered of European significance as it threw new light on the settlement of the area in the [[Bronze Age]] and highlighted a change in tradition of burial traditions and trade networks at this time.<ref>Tees Archaeology. Early Bronze Age burials at Windmill Fields, Ingleby Barwick, Stockton on Tees. {{cite web |url=http://www.eng-h.gov.uk/archcom/projects/summarys/html98_9/2031.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=28 November 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605231121/http://www.eng-h.gov.uk/archcom/projects/summarys/html98_9/2031.pdf |archive-date=5 June 2011 }}</ref>

A [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] settlement is also apparent in the town and a [[Roman Villa]], was excavated in part. This has been preserved as public open space at Condercum Green in The Rings area of Ingleby Barwick.<ref name=":2">{{cite web |url=http://www.teesarchaeology.com/document_library/documents/roman_booklet.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=18 November 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716203048/http://www.teesarchaeology.com/document_library/documents/roman_booklet.pdf |archive-date=16 July 2011 }}</ref> Building work at Quarry Farm discovered prolific concentrations of multi period [[flint]]work along the South Bank of the River Tees and traces of [[Iron Age]] field patterns were discovered.<ref name=":1" /> A [[Roman Villa]] {{circa|200 AD}}, perhaps the most northerly in UK, was excavated in part.<ref name=":2" /> The "official" report on the excavation was published in 2013 with the title "A Roman Villa at the Edge of Empire" ( {{ISBN|978-1-902771-90-8}} )

===Norman era===
After the [[Norman Conquest]] the Manor of Barwick was given to Robert Malet, the son of William Malet, [[William the Conqueror]]’s great chamberlain. In the 13th century the land was owned by the Priors of [[Guisborough Priory]] and [[Jervaulx Abbey]] until the [[Dissolution of the Monasteries]]. Ingleby and Barwick were two separate places. Between the 14th to 17th century, it is not known when Barwick merged with Ingleby as a parish. Between the 14th and 16th centuries landowners in the area included the [[Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland|Percys of Northumberland]] and the Parrs of Nottingham.

===Renaissance===
[[File:Durham - John Speed Map.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Barwick shown on The Bishoprice and Citie of Durham map, {{circa|1611}} by John Speed, just south of the Tees between Yarum and Thornabye in Yorkshire]]
The Middle Ages are considered to have ended with the Renaissance in the mid 15th century. In the 17th century the Manor of Barwick was sold to Sir Thomas Lynch, [[List of Governors of Jamaica|Governor of Jamaica]] and then to Sir William Turner of [[Kirkleatham]].

===Modern===
After 1611, it is not known when the two separate places of Barwick and Ingleby combined their names or if Ingleby developed as a separate settlement or spawned from and then re-merged with Barwick. The land was in the ownership of the Turners, with them gaining profits from the land used to support a free school and hospital at Kirkleatham.

'''Industrial revolution'''
[[File:Site of an old footpath, incorporated into the street layout - geograph.org.uk - 1094594.jpg|thumb|Site of an old road from Barwick Farm to the former Quarry, incorporated into the paving layout]]
The north of Ingleby Barwick was formerly quarried for Whinstone. Much of this area now forms Ingleby Barwick Golf Academy and northern part of The Rings. Evidence of a tramway system and jetty on historic Ordnance Survey maps suggest that the Whinstone was exported by boat.

Ingleby Barwick is listed as being a township in the parish of Stainton in 1887.<ref>John Bartholomew, Gazetteer of the British Isles (1887)</ref><ref>A Vision of Britain through time. [http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/descriptions/entry_page.jsp?text_id=2003630&word=NULL Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Ingleby Barwick]</ref> Its population was given as 132. During this time the land was sold off by the Turner estate.

'''World wars'''

During the [[World War II|Second World War]] Ingleby Barwick stood near to the south-western perimeter of Thornaby Airfield and a number of aircraft crashed where Ingleby Barwick  now stands. On 11 June 1940 a Coastal Command [[Lockheed Hudson]] crashed at Quarry Farm killing the four crew after the bomb load exploded on crashing.<ref name="WWW.YORKSHIRE-AIRCRAFT.CO.UK">{{cite web|url=http://www.yorkshire-aircraft.co.uk/|title=www.yorkshire-aircraft.co.uk|website=www.yorkshire-aircraft.co.uk|access-date=22 September 2020}}</ref> On 28 April 1941 a [[Bristol Blenheim]] crashed at Barwick Lane killing all three crew.<ref name="WWW.YORKSHIRE-AIRCRAFT.CO.UK"/> On 18 December 1941 a Lockheed Hudson stalled soon after take off and crashed into Quarry Farm killing the five crew and four civilians.<ref name="WWW.YORKSHIRE-AIRCRAFT.CO.UK"/> On 4 September 1942 a Lockheed Hudson crashed at Myton House Farm killing the four crew.<ref name="WWW.YORKSHIRE-AIRCRAFT.CO.UK"/> The last aircraft accident was a Photo Reconnaissance [[de Havilland Mosquito]] which was attempting to land at Thornaby on one engine and crashed into land which is now home to Ingleby Mill School on 11 November 1943 killing both crew members; there is now a stone marking the crash site.<ref name="WWW.YORKSHIRE-AIRCRAFT.CO.UK"/><ref>Hidden Teesside</ref><ref>Doris Perley.

==Governance==
===Town Council===
Previously under the Maltby and Ingleby Barwick Parish Council, the parish council split in 1990. Ingleby Barwick Parish Council became a town council in 2007, therefore giving the settlement town status.<ref name = "TC History">{{cite web|url=http://www.inglebybarwicktowncouncil.org.uk/pages/history.html|access-date=1 July 2022|title=Ingleby Barwick Town Council About Us }}</ref>

It has 6 councillors from 4 May 2023, rather than the 12 previously allocated, due to a Boundary Commission error.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ingleby Barwick Town Council halved by Boundary Commission errors |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-65047165 |website=BBC News |access-date=23 June 2023 |date=23 March 2023}}</ref> The town council manage The Rings Community Hub Rings and the war memorial in Romano Park.

In 2021 the council attracted controversy after they declined a request for the council to fly the [[Pride Flag]] during pride month.<ref>{{cite web|last=Stanfield|first=Leah|date=18 June 2021|title=Teesside council refuses to fly Pride flag after worries it would 'set a precedent'|url=https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1451519/Teesside-council-pride-flag-lgbtq-ingleby-barwick-pride-month|access-date=26 January 2022|website=Express.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Metcalfe|first=Alex|date=17 June 2021|title=Council refuses to fly Pride flag after worries it would 'set a precedent'|url=https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/council-refuses-fly-pride-flag-20842723|access-date=26 January 2022|website=TeessideLive}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Pride flag will not be flown by town council because councillors don't want to 'set a precedent'|url=https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/19381858.ingleby-barwick-town-council-agrees-not-fly-pride-flag/|access-date=26 January 2022|website=The Northern Echo|date=18 June 2021 }}</ref>
