Butterwick is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Boston, in the low-lying fenlands of Lincolnshire, England. It has long agricultural roots - the name suggests a historic dairy or farm settlement - and retains a compact village feel with a parish council and the sort of local facilities and community events typical of rural Lincolnshire.
Geographically it sits amid drained arable land and drainage ditches that define the Fens, so wildlife and birdwatching are notable pastimes alongside farming. Economically the parish is dominated by agriculture with many residents commuting into Boston for work or services, while its historic character and scattered older buildings give it a quietly picturesque, traditional English village atmosphere.
