About Butler's Cross

Butler's Cross rests a quiet presence in the Buckinghamshire landscape, a place where the air often carries the scent of damp earth and distant fields. It lies 2.7 km west-south-west of Wendover (from Wendover: bearing 256°T, OS grid SP 842 071), and is situated east-north-east of Ellesborough village. The gentle slopes of the Chiltern Hills embrace Butler's Cross, lending a subtle grandeur to its unassuming character, and the quality of light here, particularly in the late afternoon, can cast a soft, golden hue over the stone cottages and their gardens. Though small, Butler's Cross has been a point of reference for travellers for centuries, its name perhaps alluding to a historical marker or a landowner of note, and the surrounding countryside offers a quiet invitation for contemplation, a place where the slow passage of seasons is keenly felt.
