The name 'Buttern' derives from 'outer' and an acceptable nomenclature would be Outer Farm on Outer Hill. Dating to the later 19th century, this is one of the later farmhouses in the parish, and was one of the last of the 'newtakes' on this side of the moor. The farmhouse was known for a time as 'Higher Ensworthy' and has been extended twice by the current owners.
Ownership information given from 1892 to present day.
