Beckingham is a village and parish in the Kesteven part of Lincolnshire. The population of the civil parish (including Stapleford) at the 2011 census was 452.[1] It is situated approximately four miles east of Newark-on-Trent on the A17 road, and on the east bank of the River Witham.
Beckingham is largely a residential community with a village hall. The village public house is the Grade-II-listed Pack Horse Inn.[2] Nearby to the west is Newark Golf Course.
The Grade-I-listed parish church is dedicated to All Saints.[3] It was restored in 1857, 1888,[4] and 1889-90.[5] The church was featured on the BBC TV programme Restoration in 2006, where it became a regional runner-up.[6] Further listed buildings are The Old Smithy,[7] Sutton Lane Farmhouse,[8] Beckingham Hillside Cottages,[9] Glebe Farmhouse,[10] Apricot Hall,[11] Rose Cottages,[12] The Rectory,[13] and Redvers House,[14]
In 1972 the village was bypassed by a dual-carriageway at a cost of £600,000.
