Ingrave is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Herongate and Ingrave, in the Brentwood district in Essex, England. It is situated on and around the A128 road, 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of the town of Brentwood. There is also the adjoining village of Herongate nearby. In 1931 the parish had a population of 692.[1] On 1 January 1937 the parish was abolished and merged with Brentwood.[2]

Name and history

Ingrave's name is derived from that of the original manor in this area, "Ging-Ralph" or "Ralph’s-ing". The manor was originally owned by the Mordaunt family but was acquired by the Petre family in 1573. The Petres built Thorndon Hall (now luxury apartments) on the site in 1770.[3]
