Ingleby, Sir Charles (bap. 1645, d. 1719), judge, was the third son of John Ingleby (d. 1648) of Lawkland, Yorkshire, and his second wife, Mary (d. 1667), daughter of Sir Thomas Lake of Cannons, Middlesex, and was baptized on 20 February 1645 at Clapham, Yorkshire. He was a descendant of Sir Thomas Ingleby, judge of the king's bench in the reign of Edward III. Ingleby was admitted to Brasenose College, Oxford, on 26 November 1662, and Gray's Inn on 25 June 1663. He was called to the bar on 22 November 1671. As a Roman Catholic he suffered under what the earl of Clarendon called ‘Oates's usurpation and imposition’ (Keeton, 399), being charged by the informers Robert Bolron and Lawrence Mowbray in February 1680 with complicity in the plot of Sir Thomas Gascoigne, and was committed to the king's bench prison. He was one of ‘several persons of quality’ (Memoirs of Sir John Reresby, 197) acquitted in July 1680 at his trial in York. He married Alathea (d. 1715), daughter of Richard Eyston of Saxton, Yorkshire, five of his children being baptized at Clapham during the 1680s. The reign of James II opened up avenues of promotion for Ingleby which had been closed hitherto. On 23 April 1686 he was appointed a baron of exchequer in Ireland, but he was reluctant to take up his post, and on 27 May Lord Chief Justice Jeffreys informed the lord lieutenant, the earl of Clarendon, that Ingleby had been excused. In April 1687 Ingleby was made a serjeant-at-law, his patrons being the earl of Thanet and Viscount Carrington, the latter peer being a Catholic. On 6 July 1688 he was appointed a baron of the exchequer, being knighted later in the month. Bramston at this point calls him ‘always a papist’ (Autobiography, 311). Ingleby's appointment was officially revoked on 3 November 1688, and he returned to private practice. In April 1693 he was fined 40s. at York assizes for refusing to take the oaths of allegiance to William and Mary. He headed the register of Roman Catholic landholders in the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1717, residing at Austwick Hall, midway between Clapham and Lawkland. Ingleby was buried at Clapham on 5, 6, or 9 August 1719. His son Thomas also became a barrister. Stuart Handley Sources

He may have been the only son of Sir William Ingleby of Ripley and Joan, daughter of Sir Brian Stapleton of Carlton, in which case he was born on 7 July 1434, married Margery, daughter of Sir James Strangways of Harsley, and ‘died’ (when he became a monk) on 21 September 1457. He was ordained subdeacon and deacon as a monk of Mount Grace, Yorkshire, a Charterhouse with which his family was closely connected, in 1457. He was elected prior of Hinton, Somerset, in 1476–7, but the Carthusian general chapter of 1477

refused to confirm his election and appointed him rector only. After he was elected prior of Sheen in 1477, the general chapter confirmed him as prior between 1478 and 1496, appointed and confirmed him as first visitor of the English province between 1478 and 1496, and made him a diffinitor of the general chapter in 1487–8 and 1490–91. As prior of Sheen he was among the co-founders of the Guild of St Mary, Bagshot, in 1480. Ingleby acquired the confidence of kings and queens who with increasing regularity attended services at Sheen throughout his time there. Edward IV's queen, Elizabeth, who gained permission from Pope Sixtus IV (r. 1471–84) to attend services at Sheen in 1479, made him the first of three executors in 1492. Henry VII asked him to deliver to Pope Innocent VIII (r. 1484–92) a letter dated 10 February 1490, in which he extolled the Carthusians above the Cistercians and referred to Ingleby as his ‘captain and envoy’. Henry also appointed him to oversee the works, which, between 1495 and 1499, transformed the manor house of Sheen into the palace of Richmond. At Henry's request he was provided to the see of Llandaff by Pope Alexander VI (r. 1492–1503) on 27 June 1496. He continued to be active in Carthusian affairs, however, visiting Sheen on 28 October 1496 when he probably presented to his successor, Ralph Tracy, a copy of Chrysostom's Homilies on St John. Such a visit, combined with his works at Richmond, make it likely that he was usually a non-resident bishop, but since his diocese does not appear to have suffered from his absences, it may be assumed that he took steps to ensure continuity of administration. Ingleby's episcopal register and seal have been lost, although his armorial bearings have survived as those of his family: sable, an estoile argent. According to the acts of the general chapter and a brass inscription from Sheen, he died on 7 September 1499. W. N. M. Beckett Sources J.
