Beckingham is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies 6 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.[1] Nearby to the west is Newark Golf Course.
The Grade I listed parish church is dedicated to All Saints.[2] It was restored in 1857, 1888,[3] and 1889-90.[4] The church was featured on the BBC TV programme Restoration in 2006, where it became a regional runner-up.[5] Further listed buildings are The Old Smithy,[6] Sutton Lane Farmhouse,[7] Beckingham Hillside Cottages,[8] Glebe Farmhouse,[9] Apricot Hall,[10] Rose Cottages,[11] The Rectory,[12] and Redvers House,[13]
In 1972 the village was bypassed by a dual-carriageway at a cost of £600,000.[citation needed]
