St Andrew, Buckland

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; the tower, south aisle, porch and south door from the 1400s. There is some enjoyable mediaeval stone carving in corbels flanking the windows, also mediaeval glass, 15th century brasses, memorials from later years and a medley of 19th century fittings.
