I have found a quotation in Cultures of Natural History attributed to John Covell (1638-1722) which refers to Jingling Pot in Kingsdale, saying that he was:
"particularly pleased with Gingling Cove and Reeking Cove near Ingleton, which outdoe Oakey Hole in Somersetshire, and all the wonders of the Peak".
The name "Gingling Cove" was also used by Thomas Dixon in his A Description of the Environs of Ingleborough of 1781.
Does anybody know the source of the quotation? I suspect that it have been from a published diary, but I have been unable to track anything down.
