Butt's Way
History
The cricket ground was established in 1880 on land on Aston Moors lent by a T. Taylor. 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. 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. 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. In 2011, the ground played host to a Women's One Day International between India women and New Zealand women.
