HER Number:MDV134392
Name:West Butts and East Butts, Dunsford

Summary

West Butts dates to at least the early-mid 19th century, based on cartographic evidence. Depicted on the 1840s Tithe Map, it appears to have retained some of its original layout and served as the New Inn in the later 19th century. East Butts was added by 1905, by which time the inn appears to have ceased trading.

No longer marked as New Inn (so the venture may have been relatively short-lived) and the range of buildings has now been extended eastwards and includes the building now called 'East Butts', which has been added.
