HECKINGHAM, a parish of scattered houses, 2 miles E of Loddon, comprises 1084A of land, and had 309 inhabitants in 1841, including 138 in the large Union Workhouse. The Rev E Willis and Mr John Freston are lords of the manor; but a great part of the soil belongs to the Rev J Gilbert, R Hayward, S Denny, and Sir EB Smyth, Bart. The latter is impropriator of the tithes, and patron of the perpetual curacy, which was valued in 1831 at £31, and is enjoyed, with that of Hales, by the Rev WW Hobson, MA. The Church (St Gregory) is a small thatched building, with a tower and two bells.
