Questions about Butt Bridge
Is Butt Bridge on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 50060554).
Can you visit Butt Bridge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Butt Bridge built?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
