Cropwell Butler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cropwell Butler is a village in the borough of Rushcliffe in Nottinghamshire, one mile to the east of the A46 in the NG12 postcode. The next village to the south is Cropwell Bishop.
This small village has one pub called The Plough Inn on Main Street. The Village Hall and Sheldon Field are the only other public facilities in this small and quiet village. The post office closed some years ago, and a selection of small independent shops including a buthers were transformed into a housing development called Carpenters Close in the late 1970's / early 1980's. There are no schools or Churches in the village, there is however a methodist chapel.
The Sheldon Field plays host to a number of high profile football matches in the East Midlands Public Authorities Amateur League (EMPAL). Both Butler-Benfica FC (Cropwell Butler) and Chequers Rangers United (Cropwell Bishop) play at the Sheldon Field on Sunday mornings.
