History
The village toponym is derived from the Old English for "home farm by a stream".[1] In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Bechentone.Template:Sfnp
Parts of the village stand on high ground, but most of the village is prone to regular flooding by the stream that runs through the village, a tributary of the River Ouse.
The family name Beachampton originates in this village, and was first recorded in manorial records in 1175 when Osmer de Beachampton was a tenant here. There is no documentary evidence for the tradition that Hall Farm in Beachampton was the home of Catherine Parr when she was married to King Henry VIII.Template:Sfnp
Beachampton Hall, a Grade II* listed manor house, has elements dating from the 15th century.[2] The present house was probably built by the Piggot family: Sir Thomas Piggot hosted a 1603 visit of Queen Anne of Denmark, wife of King James I and VI; the gardens were laid out at this time.[2]
The Church of England parish church of the Assumption of St Mary the Virgin dates from the 14th century,Template:Sfnp and is grade II* listed.[3] G.E. Street, a Gothic Revival architect, rebuilt upper part of the bell-tower in 1873–74.Template:Sfnp It has a large monument to Simon Benett Bt. (1682).Template:Sfnp[3] The Bennetts (or Bennets) have been Lords of Beachampton (styled Lord de Beachampton) and of the neighbouring manor of Calverton since 1616.[4] Both these manorial lordship titles, though not the lands, remain in the possession of the Bennett family to the present day.[5][6]
The parish has a further nine listed buildings and structures.[7]
