- Buckland, Hertfordshire (St Andrew's Church)
This handsome 14th-century church is lit with Victorian stained glass featuring scenes from the New Testament. Carved stone angels play instruments but mortals must content themselves with the beautifully decorated organ.
Buckland is a tiny village on Ermine Street, where it crosses the chalk uplands between Buntingford and Royston: The church is at the highest point away from the road.
The nave and chancel date from about 1348, where as the tower, south aisle, porch and south door from the 1400s. There is some Medieval stone carving in corbels flanking the windows, there's also some Medieval glass, 15th-century brasses, memorials from later years and a medley of 19th-century fittings.

If the access information for this church is listed as ‘Keyholder nearby’, this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Visitors with disabilities may need some assistance.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
