About Buckland St Mary, Somerset
Buckland St Mary gathers its stone cottages under a wide, shifting Somerset sky that seems to hold the memory of ancient, unhurried seasons. It lies 4.3 miles north-west of Chard (from Chard: bearing 313°T, OS grid ST 270 133), and is situated east-north-east of Bishopswood village. The terrain rises sharply to the north-east where the slopes of Buckland Hill catch the first pale light of morning, casting long shadows over the surrounding pasture. Below, the damp, rich earth of the Long Lye Sssi cradles a quiet diversity of flora, thriving in the seclusion of the valley floor. History asserts itself in the earth nearby at the remains of Castle Neroche, where the stark, grassy ramparts bear witness to a defensive past long reclaimed by the quiet persistence of nature. The parish church, with its tower rising like a sentinel, anchors Buckland St Mary to the landscape, its architecture reflecting the enduring patience of those who built in local flint and limestone. Residents look out across fields where the horizon remains unbroken by the frantic pace of modern life, save for the occasional call of a bird circling the high ground. Here, the air carries a crisp, lingering coolness even in the height of summer, as if the land itself draws breath from the deep, hidden springs of the Blackdown Hills.
