Beale Poste (1793 – April 15, 1871) was an English antiquary and Anglican cleric.
[1] Beale was the second son of William Poste, a scion of an old Kentish family with his seat near Maidstone.
The father was one of London's four common pleaders and sent Beale to Trinity Hall at Cambridge.
The third son, Edward, became director of Britain's civil service examinations.
Woodward credited him with the anonymous translation[2] of Karl Wex's article on Charles Bertram's Description of Britain[3] which appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine in October 1846.
