Butterton
Butterton is a small village in the Staffordshire Peak District of England (). It overlooks the Manifold Valley and Ecton Hill, which rises 1,212 feet above sea level. Butterton lies 5 miles to the east of Leek and roughly 8 miles from Alton Towers theme park. The village is just to the west of the limestone area, and so is mainly built of local sandstone. It contains a beautiful church. In the centre of Butterton there is an unusual ford where the Hoo Brook runs along the village street.〔Cooper, J., Dodson, J., Stewak, S., & Wilson, M. (2010).

Butterton was served by a railway station which was opened by the Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway on 27 June 1904, whilst being entirely operated by the North Staffordshire Railway. The line closed in 1934, and the route of the railway past the station is now designated the Manifold Way, a walk and cycle-path. Butterton is one of the Thankful Villages that suffered no fatalities in the Great War of 1914-1918.
