According to A Dictionary of British Place Names, Ingleby is derived from the Old Scandinavian "Englar + by", meaning "farmstead or village of the Englishmen", and Arncliffe, Old English "earn + cliff", meaning "eagles' cliff".
Ingleby Arncliffe Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to All Saints. It dates from 1821 but includes 14th-century effigies. The church is situated less than 0.5 miles (0.8 km) south-east from the centre of the village, and 60 yards (55 m) from the church is Arncliffe Hall, a Grade I listed house from 1753–54, designed by John Carr, that replaced a 16th-century house of the Mauleverer family.
At the centre of the village is a Grade II listed water tower, built in 1915 to supply water to the village.
