Everything about Buckland Buckinghamshire totally explained
Buckland is a
village in
Buckinghamshire,
England. It is near the
border with
Hertfordshire, adjacent to
Aston Clinton.
The village name is a common one in England. It is
Anglo Saxon in origin, and refers to a place which has received a
Royal charter of some description. It isn't known what type of charter to which this refers in this case.
Before the
Norman Conquest, the
manor of Buckland was held by the
see of
Dorchester-on-Thames in
Oxfordshire under the control of Godric. After 1066
William I granted it to
the Bishop of Lincoln. It remained so until the 16
th century when the then tenant, the
Earl of Warwick had to forfeit it to the Crown. By 1584 it had been passed to
Robert Dormer, 1st Earl of Carnarvon. Robert was killed fighting on the
Royalist side during the
English Civil War at the first
Battle of Newbury. His lands, including Buckland, were confiscated by the
Parliamentarians but were recovered in 1653 by the
Charles Dormer, 2nd Earl of Carnarvon and held until death in 1709. Through marriage it passed to
Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield and remained in the family until George Hassall of Cholesbury acquired it around 1815. Subsequent Lords of the Manor included John Atkinson and Peter Parott.
The Church of All Saints, Buckland was built in 1284. A Wesleyan chapel was built in 1831.
Within the
parish of Buckland lies the
hamlet of
Buckland Wharf, which refers to a landing stage on the Wendover Branch of the
Grand Union Canal which passes through the village.
During the 1500s land at the southern end of the parish of Buckland which had been progressively cleared of scrub was transformed from an area of temporary summer pasture to one of permanent settlement subsequently to become known as
Buckland Common. It remained a remote outpost of Buckland parish until becoming part of the newly created parish of
Cholesbury-cum-St Leonards in 1934.
