West Buckland is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated 5 miles south west of Taunton in the Somerset West and Taunton district. The parish has a population of 1,189.
In 904, certain lands were the basis of a charter to Asser, Bishop of Sherborne, later confirmed in 908. It is thought that Buckland was perhaps known then as Bocland; the name for ‘chartered land’. Following this charter, or even earlier, the name West Buckland was established. But why West was added is unknown – perhaps to distinguish it from Buckland St Mary to the east.
