Ingleby inherited Ripley Castle and its lands when his uncle, Sir William Ingleby, died in January 1618. He was made a baronet on 17 May 1642 by Charles I.

Ingleby was a Royalist and fought at the battle of Marston Moor.[4] Oliver Cromwell is said to have come to Ripley Castle after the battle. William Ingleby was away or in hiding.
