Buck's Mills Devon,
Church of St Anne, Buck's Mills Devon,  
Although Bible Christianity was established here from its earliest years, there is no indication that there was ever a designated Anglican chapel in the village.   Worshippers may have met in their homes or attended a nearby chapel, perhaps the one at Dyke, in Upper Clovelly.
The 1851 religious census records the start of a Wesleyan Methodist revival here yet despite the movement having a considerable impact on the inhabitants they were described in  1852 as possessing ‘very little mental culture, and no moral instruction.’   The two Anglican churches of the parent parishes were also several miles away making the journey difficult for the very young or infirm, particularly in bad weather.    (the hamlet  straddled the boundary between the parishes of Parkham and West Woolfardisworthy, on the coast of North Devon.   The Parkham side of the village marked the western end of the Goldsworthy estate owned by the Pine Coffin family.   The western side in Woolfardisworthy parish, was owned by the Elwes family and formed part of the Walland Cary estate).
Plans for building a new Methodist Chapel, in the early 1860s, prompted the local landowner Jane Elwes, to donate land for an Anglican Church with the aim of weaning her tenants away from non-conformity by providing easy access to the  established church and St Annes was built between 1869 and 1870, at a time when it became an ecclesiastical parish in its own right 
It consists of a simple rectangular nave, chancel, &amp; a bell cote

It now serves as the parish church for the small community and is open to visitors throughout the year.  There are regular services and events, such as concerts and exhibitions.
