Allotment at The Butts, Warkworth
Allotment at The Butts, Warkworth
In Northumberland, 'The Butts' were what was left over at the end of the field after ploughing. In Warkworth, the loop of the River Coquet provided two limits to the extent of the medieval settlement - the Stanners on the west and The Butts to the east. Pevsner described the layout of Warkworth as "entirely medieval" with long burgage strips extending both west and east from properties on Castle Street and Bridge Street. The photo is taken from the Ember Path NU2405 : Ember Path, Warkworth, which runs east of, and parallel to, Castle Street. The long narrow burgage strips are still in use by local residents as allotments and gardens, and are still well preserved on current maps and in aerial view.
