The coat of arms of Mary Fry
In the floor of the nave of the church near the entrance to the chancel is a memorial stone to Mary Fry who died in 1669. Her husband was Henry Fry of Buckerell but in the right hand section of the shield are the arms of her father, Richard Culme of Cannons Leigh, depicted by the pelicans. Her mother was Lydia, daughter of Phillip Courtenay of Molland. A branch of the Fry family once owned the Deer Park, now a hotel, nearby.

The old school and the Old Rectory - Buckerell
The school was a "National" school and built in 1830. The porch window is 14C and made of Beer stone.
The Old Rectory behind, Grade II listed, was built in the 18C and was once the home of the Reverend E E Coleridge, BA, nephew of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The reverend altered the exterior of the house to give it a more Gothick look but it has been altered again since then.
