The village of Beckingham is a small rural parish in the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, England. It sits on low-lying agricultural land close to the River Trent and the Nottinghamshire–Lincolnshire border, with market towns such as Retford and Gainsborough within easy reach.
Traditionally agricultural, the local economy remains dominated by farming alongside a handful of small businesses, and the surrounding landscape shows traces of gravel-working and subsequent wetland restoration that attract wildfowl. Community life is parish-centred - a village hall, church and pub provide focal points for events - and the built environment mixes traditional cottages with 19th‑century architecture that hints at the village’s long rural history.
