Low Buston
Low Buston is a hamlet in Northumberland, located about a mile and a half north-west of Warkworth and 2 miles south-east of Shilbottle. The hamlet today is composed of a farm, Low Buston Hall, Butlesdon House, Random Cottage, a former cartshed/grannary, and a small number of other buildings. The Park family have run the farm at Low Buston since 1965 and produce "Bunton Potatoes", wheat and oil seed rape. Butlesdon House is thought to have been a bastle, before being altered and dated 1604, for Henry Johnson; it is also a Grade II listed building.[1] Buston Barns Farmhouse, about half a mile east of Low Buston, dates from the late 17th century, incorporating materials of an earlier structure, and is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.[2] Low Buston once had a more substantial Medieval village (a short distance south-west of Low Buston farm, by the confluence of Tylee Burn and Grange Burn). There are visible remains of the Medieval village, including sunken roadways and rectangular enclosures.[3] The houses (tofts) were abandoned in c.1774; the remains of the Medieval village are a Scheduled Monument.[2]
