Butt's Way is a cricket ground between the villages of Aston Rowant and Kingston Blount in Oxfordshire.
History
The cricket ground was established in 1880 on land on Aston Moors lent by a T. Taylor.[1] Having been used in club cricket by Aston Rowant Cricket Club for over a century, the ground hosted its first minor counties fixture for Oxfordshire in the 1987 Minor Counties Championship against Buckinghamshire.[2] Oxfordshire later played two List A one-day matches there against first-class opponents Somerset in the 1994 NatWest Trophy and Lancashire in the 1996 NatWest Trophy.[3] Oxfordshire played minor counties cricket there until 1999, after which followed a hiatus of seven years before they returned. Up until 2024, Oxfordshire have played seven Minor Counties Championship and six NCCA Knockout Trophy matches at the ground.[2][4] In 2011, the ground played host to a Women's One Day International between India women and New Zealand women.[5]
