It also occurs in Hampshire near Ringwood; and on the Wirral where there is a Mockbeggar Hall. One source for the meaning of the name states as follows - MOCKBEGGAR, a common house/farm name
- First found in 1622 in a poem by Taylor the Water Poet as a name for a place where no welcome could be expected. Very fashionable from then onwards, though the names may not have been bestowed with the occupiers' consent.
