Butterton was served by a railway station which was opened by the Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway on 27 June 1904. The line closed in 1934, and the route of the railway past the station is now designated the Manifold Way, a footpath and cycle route. Butterton is one of 17 doubly Thankful Villages that suffered no fatalities in both the Great War of 1914–1918 and in the Second World War.
