The red brick and blue slate Victorian house at the corner of North Road and Harrington Street was built in the mid 19th century and left to the town by Joseph Butterfield when he died in 1909 for use as a cottage hospital. In 1919 the Board of Trustees decided to enlarge the hospital and create a memorial those who had died in the First World War. A tablet was fixed to the outside of the Butterfield Cottage Hospital above the door on the east wing extension. This was unveiled in 1921 and was Bourne's original First World War memorial. The building continued as a hospital until it closed in 1983. Since 1985 it has been used as a day centre for elderly people. It is now (2015) the Butterfield Day Care Centre. {1}{2}
