Leckhampstead is a village and civil parish in West Berkshire, England in the North Wessex Downs.

The associated hamlet of Leckhampstead Thicket has a high proportion of its buildings that are thatched cottages and has a Primitive Methodist chapel, dated 1874.

Most of the land is agricultural with a few woodlands, particularly along the northern border where elevation exceeds 560 ft (170 m) above sea level.

[1] Sarsen stones and Bronze Age features, are in the bounds of Leckhampstead at Hill Green and a flint arrowhead of this period has been found.

It is mentioned in a charter, dated to 811 CE, in which King Coenwulf of Mercia handed ten hides of land in Leckhampstead to Abingdon.

In the early 1040s a legal case developed between the abbey and Brihtmund's younger son Brihtwine.

[3] The manor passed, with that at Donnington, to the Earl of Nottingham, and from him to John Mordaunt and Elizabeth his wife, who sold the site in 1632 to the apparent trustees for the earlier long tenants, the Spicer family.

[3] Before the establishment of a uniform national welfare system, two charities were identified of specific Leckhampstead origin or benefit: In 1805 Catherine Mather by will left a sum for the vestry's investment as a distribution.

In 1872 Hugh Barton Gledstanes left £1,000, on ambiguous trust as the income was directed "for the relief of the poor brethren and for the help of the Lord's servants who carried on the work of the Gospel at Leckhampstead and neighbourhood".

The estate was administered in court and its order of 1 June 1883, a few pence under £694, was transferred to the official trustees, producing yearly £17 7s for poor Plymouth Brethren in 1923.

The surrounding chains are from a battleship that took part in the Battle of Jutland and they are supported on spent shell cases.

[17] It was given Grade II listed status in May 2016, legally protecting it from unauthorised modification or removal.

The hamlet of Hill Green has six listed buildings, all in the initial category of Grade II.
