• Notes

  According to the book "Buckland Fileigh - A continuous Thread", by Jane Taylor, William inherited Buckland Fileigh from his father. The manor was known as Buckland House and Park. The manor was rebuilt later as a Georgian manor, and still stands. The Church of St. Mary and Holy Trinity is included in its grounds.
