West Butterwick Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Mary.[1] It was built in 1841 of beige brick, with a thin octagonal west tower.[2] A further Grade II listed building is The Old Vicarage, built in 1863 by James Fowler of Louth.[3] An 1824 listed windmill tower is at Mill Farm on North Street.[4]
In 1885 Kelly's Directory recorded a Primitive Methodist and a General Baptist chapel. Within a parish area of 2,307 acres (9 km2) were grown potatoes, wheat, oats and beans.[5]
Originally a township in Owston parish, West Butterwick was made an ecclesiastical parish in its own right in 1841.
