Mrs. Deborah Goacher

Having lived in the stone and timber-framed hall house at Little Buckland for the last two years, I have been unable to resist the lure of its history and archaeology. We were fortunate to have Kenneth Gravett and Peter Lambert undertake a survey. They suggested a date of c. 1400 for its construction.

During my research, I have located references to Buckland in Hasted; Philipott's Villare Cantianum; Beale Paste's History of the College of All Saints, Maidstone; Du Boulay's Lordship of Canterbury and the Earl of Aylesford's Estate Reports at the Centre for Kentish Studies. I am currently following up index references in Arch. Cantiana.

I am keen to receive any information concerning The Cottage at Little Buckland Farm; the estate of Buckland; any of the de Boclandes; or Little Buckland Farm to help me trace the origin and history of the house.
