Bqtoner or Buttoner (William), called William 
of Worcester, 1415-80 
William of Worcester, as tlie author of the undermentioned 
Itinerary is generally called, was born at Bristol in 1415, 
and died, it is supposed, in 1480. His Itinerary , written 
about 1478, although not published until three hundred years 
later, records a journey made from Bristol to St. Michael’s 
Mount. There are a few references to birds, notably the 
“ pohyns ” ( i.e . Puffins) of Tresco Island.
