Beckingham is a village in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England.

Geography

It is right by the Nottinghamshire border and the River Witham and on the A17 road east out of Newark-on-Trent. The village was bypassed at a cost of £600,000 in 1972 by a dual-carriageway. Close by to the west is Newark Golf Course. The parish is joined with Stapleford to the north, and the parish has a combined population of 377.

History

Beckingham is mostly a residential community with a village hall.

All Saints Church dominates Beckingham but is in a poor state of repair. It was featured on the BBC TV program Restoration in 2006. It came second out of three in the Eastern region. The village pub is the Pack Horse Inn on Sleaford Road.
