Mockbeggar

Mockbeggar is a fairly common name is various parts of England: it occurs in Kent, as part of Collier Street village; and as a farm near Cliffe-at-Hoo. 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.
