St Andrew's Church, Buckland

St Andrew's Church in Buckland is a Gothic structure with flint walls and stone detailing, featuring a three-part nave, broad south aisle, two-part chancel, and west tower with diagonal buttresses. The building shows the characteristic style of this period through its construction methods and layout.

Construction of the nave and chancel started in 1348, with the west tower added in 1400. The south aisle came later in the late 1400s and completed the structure as it stands today.

The interior holds brass memorials from the 15th century and medieval stained glass that, together with carved stone angels playing instruments, shape how the space feels inside.

The church sits at the highest point of Buckland village and is open daily for visits. It is not directly served by public transport, so reaching it requires a car or a walk from nearby areas.

The church houses a one-manual organ built in 1870 by Henry Jones and Son. It was installed in a chamber that was added during restoration work in the 1880s.
