Beckley is a hamlet in Hampshire, England. It lies in the civil parish of Bransgore.
Beckley is mentioned in the
Earl Roger of Shrewsbury.[1] Before 1066 it was held by Holmger.[1] The manor was known as Bichelei in 1086, and Beckele in 1294.[2] The name means Beocca's or Bicca's clearing, and may be related to the Domesday manor of Becton found to the east of Barton on Sea.[2] Today Beckley is still a small settlement clustered around Beckley Farm.[3]
