Buckland Monachorum Church is dedicated to Saint Andrew. Buckland Monachorum has had a church in the centre of the village for at least 700 years. The list of Rectors and Vicars begins in 1271.
The first church building, probably made of wood and dedicated to a Celtic Saint, has left no trace and would have been replaced by a stone construction at a later date. Very likely, this would have happened in the 14th century.
Name of church or churchyard: St Andrew's Church, Buckland Monachorum.
