The civil parish is bordered by the North Downs escarpment in the north. The area contains a number of sand pits. HistoryBuckland appears in Domesday Book (of 1086) as Bochelant. It was owned by John of Tonbridge. Buckland had a church, watermill and thirty-five heads of household. Of these, seventeen farmed the land owned by the feudal lord, and ten were more lowly servants (serfs) of the estate.[2] The village church St Mary the Virgin was built in 1380.[3] The windmill is a tourist focal point. Local legendBuckland is also the location of the Shag Brook, which local legend says was the home of a monstrous horse (in some versions a gorilla), called the Buckland Shag. This beast would drag travellers from the nearby coaching road and devour them on the Shag Stone, a large boulder in the brook with a blood red vein of iron ore running through it.[4] The local parson, Willoughby Bertie, had the Shag Stone removed from the brook in 1757 and thrown from a cliff in Devon. The Buckland Shag then disappeared from local folklore. The legend of the Buckland Shag has recently been revived by a local morris side, The Buckland Shag Morris Men.
