St Mary the Virgin Church, Buckland
The church is thought to date back to 1380 although in 1860, it did undergo a large refurbishment under the direction of architect Henry Woodyer (St Martin’s Dorking was his design). The bell-tower has a shingled spire, and internally is a structure of 14th century oak.

Buckland Church
Though the church has medieval origins, Ian Nairn (writing in the Surrey volume of Pevsner's 'The Buildings of England') points out that what you see from outside dates from the 1860's. The stumpy shingled spire is typical of Surrey, and so is the main building material: Bargate stone. This is very much a local stone, probably quarried from the Lower Greensand formation at various spots around the county. Exactly where it got its name isn't clear, but I notice that 'Burgate' appears on the map at SU 98 38, in an area where Bargate stone is much used, near Hambledon.

Bargate stone, Buckland church
Bargate stone is very much a local building material, seen chiefly in south-west Surrey and neighbouring parts of Sussex and Hampshire. Quarrying - from the Lower Greensand formation - started in medieval times, chiefly in the Godalming area. It was the Greensand, too, which provided the raw material for the early iron industry in Surrey - and there is certainly a range of rusty shades to be found in this sample of walling.
For a more general view of the west end of the church (where this masonry is to be found) see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2380835
