From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buckland is a village and large civil parish about 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Faringdon[1] in the Vale of White Horse District. Buckland was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire.
“Buckland” is a common toponym in southern England. It is derived from the Old English bōcland — bookland — which is a term in Anglo-Saxon law for “land held by charter”. The earliest known record in this case is as Bocland in a charter from 957 now reproduced in the Cartularium Saxonicum. The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Bocheland. Later spellings include Bochelanda in the 12th century, and Boclonde, Bokeland and Bikeland in the 13th century.
