Ingham is located at the foot of the western scarp of the Lincolnshire Edge, known as the Cliff.
The Lincolnshire Edge itself is formed by the Middle Jurassic Lincolnshire limestone which runs along the high ground from Grantham to the Humber and forms a backbone to the county.
Ingham has its origins in the Anglo-Saxon period and is now a conservation village with several listed buildings.
It also boasts the second largest village green in the county. The Black Horse pub was the haunt of the crews of 617 (Dambusters) squadron while they were based at the local RAF Scampton during the Second World War.
