from the Butley River, east of Orford, was an island set amongst the mudflats and saltings. It was accessible only at low water by a causeway, the remains of which have been discovered in archaeological excavations. Sheep would have been grazed on the island, but it would have been a long trek to get them to the market at Orford.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\">The Augustinian Butley Priory was founded in the 12th century. It set in motion the building of the river walls and the draining of the low-lying land, creating rich pasture and farmland on both sides of what is now a much more confined river. The Butley Marshes were thought to have been drained between the 1520s and 1530s.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65dbea6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"65dbea6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"909\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aldeandore.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Butley-Ferry-old-map-909x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5530\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aldeandore.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Butley-Ferry-old-map-909x1024.png 909w, https:\/\/www.aldeandore.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Butley-Ferry-old-map-266x300.png 266w, https:\/\/www.aldeandore.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Butley-Ferry-old-map-768x865.png 768w, https:\/\/www.aldeandore.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Butley-Ferry-old-map.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ecfed3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6ecfed3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">The monks now only had to transport stock and produce over a narrow river for a much shorter trip to the market.

On the Gedgrave side, opposite Boyton Dock, a straight road ran directly to Orford.

During the 16th century the land was sold to William Forthe of Hadleigh, and at the end of that century the ferry is recorded as being run by Robert Forthe, the landowner. The unnamed ferryman lived in a house built on \u201820 perches of land next to the river wall\u2019. There was free passage for pedestrians. This sounds like a poor business arrangement, but there was probably a charge for transporting produce or animals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18c0c3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18c0c3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">In 1632, Robert Forthe\u2019s grandson William sold the lease of the ferry, the ferryhouse and land for \u00a3300 to Robert Dover of Diss and Robert Morse of Stuston. This was valuable land as it included sheep pasture along the river walls. The large amount paid suggests they were outside investors who would have paid local men to run the ferry and the farm.

It is recorded that, in 1841, John Levett was struck by a bullock and killed at the ferry. The ferry was operated by the Smith family for almost a century. George Smith, the ferryman, was run over by a wagon in 1897 and his widow, Maria, was left with ten children and had to row the ferry herself. She was not the first woman to do so as a century earlier another widow, Lydia Gunnell was in the same situation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03aedb6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"03aedb6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">A map from 1895 shows Ferry Cottages as a pair at the foot of Burrow Hill (by the gate) with nice gardens and a well close to the Tang river.
