John Ingram was a 16th-century English Jesuit priest who served as a missionary during the reign of Elizabeth I. Born in Stoke Edith, he traveled to continental Europe to undergo religious training, eventually studying in Rheims and Pont-à-Mousson before being ordained in Rome in 1589. He spent time ministering to Catholics in Scotland under various aliases before returning to England, where he was apprehended by border guards. He was later transferred to the Tower of London, where he was held before his execution in 1594.
