Mr Butterworth

Mr Butterworth was a shepherd who was passing through Beckindale in 1891 when he saw a cricket match being played against Robblesfield. The story is that Butterworth filled in when they were a man short and won the game for Beckindale by hitting the ball over a quarter of a mile. From then on, that cricket ball was known as The Butterworth Ball, which to this day is displayed in The Woolpack.
