Ingle nock: the chimney corner.

Ingle, n. [Gael. & Ir. aingeali fire; cf. L. igniculusi spark, dim. of
ignis fire.
Cf. Ignite.] Flame; blaze; a fire; a fireplace. [Obs. or Scot.] Burns.

The "John Ingle" remark is just bait for a Dave Webb 'Ingle knock.'

John Keats: "Sit thee by the ingle when
. The sear faggot blazes bright."
