It was listed for preservation in 1989 and English Heritage dated parts of the structure back to the 17th century.[1] Historical records go back as far as 1456, when a water bailiff held court hearings there.[2] It was subsequently recorded as a public house in 1553.[3] Its name may refer to the barrels used to pack and ship oysters or flounders.[4][5]
The Butt and Oyster is featured in the 1937 children's book We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea by Arthur Ransome, who patronised the inn himself.[6] It subsequently appeared in the 1950 movie Ha'penny Breeze and the 1993 TV series Lovejoy, in which it was renamed "The Three Ducks".[2]
