Beckley is small as also Horton which joined with Studley. One church was built later than the other and for a time all records were kept at one of them (I believe Horton).  In the census you may well find Horton is spelt incorrectly and i suggest you try the sound like option. I had a case like this. On the county problem is the Headington scenario. Now a suburb of Oxford but at one time keeping records for surrounding parts of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Berkshire began south of the Thames around Oxford and confusion could be those records that amalgamated Berks Bucks and Oxon.  The location of Beckley is marked by a television transmitter which is nearby and visible from the M40. I am sure Oxfordshire FHS could help you if you have not cleared your query by now.
