The graveyard at Buckland is a fascinating place, one of the best in West Devon, for it is exactly what one would expect from an ancient graveyard, nearly all of the headstones and chest tombs being of local slate, without any intrusive modern foreign imports in garish colours.
Buckland Monachorum is amongst the “elite” 8% of the 11,000 or so ancient Parishes of the country for which a complete run of Registers survives from the date of their institution, 1538.
Buckland is on the IGI, but for some reason the IGI entries for the Parish claim to extend only to 1768 - the absence of some later events from the IGI has been confirmed for the small number which I have checked.

 British scriptural geologists in the first half of the nineteenth century: part 7
This included William Buckland’s several books on geology, and he indicated, through an oblique reference about Lyell and Hutton, that he understood their theory of uniformitarianism—the assumption of the uniformity of rates of geological processes—and so had probably read their works, as well.
This phrase sounds almost indistinguishable from Buckland’s idea of long ages, except for the fact that in the pamphlet’s longest section, which followed this statement, Best argued for the rapid formation of all the strata, contrary to Buckland, who conceded that only some of them were deposited rapidly.
Although he was unconvinced by Buckland’s rationale for his inferences from the geological and biblical data, Best was not hostile toward Buckland personally or toward geological study and science in general.

Buckland’s daughter wrote in her biography of him that his opponents in the 1820s were men ‘who feared the study of God’s earth would shake the foundations of Christianity’.
Later she cited Baron Bunsen’s complaint (in a letter to his wife in 1839) that ‘Buckland is persecuted by bigots’.
Buckland showed in personal correspondence in the 1820s that for him geological evidence had a superior quality and reliability over textual evidence (for example, the Bible) in reconstructing the earth’s history.

Baron Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) was a French vertebrate zoologist who revolutionized biology by developing a natural system of classifying animals based on comparative anatomy.
Cuvier was also ahead of his time in that he was one of the first paleontologists to use the muscle scars on fossilized bones to reconstruct the musculature of the animal.
Megalosaurus, described by Buckland in 1824, became the first species of dinosaur to be named and described, although Sir Richard Owen did not name the Dinosauria until 1842.

Known from fossils of the Middle Jurassic Period (180 million to 160 million years ago) in Britain, it was described by William Buckland in 1822 on the basis of scattered bones of the vertebrae, hip, hindlimb, and a lower jaw fragment with some daggerlike teeth.

 Philosophical naturalism and the age of the earth: are they related?
Buckland became the head professor of geology at Oxford University in 1813 and Sedgwick gained the same position at Cambridge in 1818.
Buckland is often viewed as a defender of Noah’s Flood because of his 1823 book, Reliquiae Diluvianae.
Because of their powerful positions in academia and in the church, Sedgwick and Buckland led many Christians in the 1820s to accept the new geological theories about the history of the earth and to abandon their faith in the literal interpretation of Genesis and in the unique and geologically significant Noachian Flood.

This extraordinary occurrence provided a striking example of the inherent stability in the flying characteristics of the R.E.8-the aircraft had flown and landed itself without human assistance.
It was during the subsequent fight that the 'Red Baron' was shot down fatally, as related in the next chapter.

By the time of his death he had been knighted and made a Baron and a Peer of France.
However, some later geologists, notably Rev. William Buckland in England, suggested that the most recent revolution was the Biblical Flood.
This remained a popular hypothesis until Louis Agassiz (who had studied with Cuvier) showed that the "flood deposits" were actually formed by glaciers.
