Beckington is a village and civil parish in the Mendip district of Somerset, England, across the River Frome from Lullington about three miles north of Frome. According to the 2011 census the parish, which includes the hamlet of Rudge, had a population of 983.[1]
The parish includes the hamlet of Standerwick.
Beckington is mentioned in the Domesday Book.[2]
The parish was part of the hundred of Frome.[3]
During the medieval period it became a centre for the wool trade.[2] By the 15th century, fulling mills had been built along the banks of the River Frome which supported spinning and weaving cottage industries.[2]
In September 1766, rioters marched to Beckington and set on fire a mill and other property,[2] in spite of being offered money and parish relief for their families.[2]
The Church of St George is a Church of England parish church in Beckington, Somerset, England. It is a Norman church, dating from the 14th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The first recorded rector was Matrin de Sutton who was installed in 1411.[2]
The nave was reroofed in 1754.[3]
The diagonally buttressed four stage tower contains two bells dating from 1756 and made by Thomas Bilbie of the Bilbie family.[4] The original six bells were recast and two extras added as part of the restoration of the tower in 1906.[5]
The interior of the church includes a Jacobean screen and communion table.[3]
The churchyard contains a war grave of a Royal Artillery soldier of World War II.[6]
