J. W. Buttery

Based in Stafford, Buttery became active on the Stafford Trades Council.[1] He joined the Fabian Society in 1890, and became secretary of the Wolverhampton Fabian Society. This was a sufficiently prominent position that he was elected to the first National Administrative Council of the Independent Labour Party, in 1893, as a representative of the Midlands.[2]

J. W. Buttery was a British socialist activist.

In about 1900, Buttery relocated to London, where he worked as a land surveyor with the Land Registry Office. He was also active in the Pharos Club.[2]
