Butterwick, Lincolnshire

Butterwick, Lincolnshire

Butterwick is a village in Lincolnshire, England, about 3 miles north-east of Boston town centre.

It is one of eighteen parishes which, together with Boston, form the Borough of Boston in the county of Lincolnshire, England. The local government has been arranged in this way since the reorganization of April 1 1974, which resulted from the Local Government Act 1972. This parish forms part of the Coastal electoral ward.

Hitherto, the parish had formed part of Boston Rural District, in the Parts of Holland. Holland was one of the three divisions (formally known as "parts") of the traditional county of Lincolnshire. Since the Local Government Act of 1888, Holland had been in most respects, a county in itself.

The village lies 6 miles (10 km) East of Boston while, on the nearby coast, Freiston Shore, a wildlife reserve covering approximately 1400 acres (6 km²) of brackish lagoon as well as natural and reconstituted saltmarsh.

In Butterwick, there is a Victorian era windmill, partially restored by Lincolnshire County Council.
