==History== According to Eilert Ekwall the meaning of the name is homestead by brook or Beaga's homestead. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Begoton or Begatona. The Domesday village was held by Hugh de Montfort and was a very small settlement with a taxable value of just 0.3 geld units.
