Description: Photograph Notes: The Butts formed the western stretch of the old town defences for Sandwich, first built in 1384. It was used in medieval times as an archery practice field. Because of the towns history of violent raids, every man over 12 years of age would be expected to practice after attending church. It is believed that Henry Vs archers practised here before sailing for France on their way to the Battle of Agincourt. The water here is the town ditch or moat which formed part of the defences. The moat is connected via sluices to the Delf Stream which runs behind the houses that overlook the moat. This was greatly improved by Dutch water engineers in the later 15th century. They built many sluices so that all the fields could be irrigated. Their network of artificial streams formed the water supply and sewers for the whole of Sandwich until the late 19th century. The Butts is now used as a cricket pitch in the summer. The pavilion is seen across the water.
