Rowland is appointed new Master of Giggleswick School Yorkshire
........The Archbishop of York declined the honour of examining the candidates, but later recommended that they should appoint to the Mastership Rev Rowland Ingram, M.A ...... the Rev. Rowland Ingram was elected. He had gained "one of the first Mathematical honours" and had only just failed to win the Bachelor of Arts Classical Medal. He was a B.D. and a late Fellow and Tutor of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. He was turned thirty-two (his brother said he was thirty-four) and after being for some years a private Tutor at Eton had been appointed in Midsummer, 1798, Headmaster of Ipswich Grammar School, where he had made a considerable name. He was certainly the strongest candidate who applied and it speaks well for the Governors that they elected him, notwithstanding the fact that two old Giggleswick boys were standing - Thomas Carr and the Rev. Thomas Paley, the former of whom had a very distinguished academic career, and Paley had been third Wrangler. Ingram began with a salary of L.200 a year and within six months premises were bought from Mr. Geo. Robinson, on which it was determined to build him a house.
