To many, Beck Row is just a collection of houses, a school, a pub, a petrol station, a shop or two and little else. However, we shall attempt to put some flesh on the bones of a village that appears to be passed through more often than stopped in. We hope to provide a little of the history of the village on the edge of the fens, the community that survived on meagre returns from poor soil and duststorms. There will be background on the building of chapel, church and school together with some of the more prominent buildings in the village; some of which remain others long since gone.
