The plantation was abandoned when the Civil War began. In 1866, Butler's daughter Frances returned with her father to attempt to restore the plantation to its former glory. Unlike her younger sister Sarah who was aligned with her mother, Frances had adopted her father's pro-slavery views and kept a diary like her mother. She published it in 1883, titled Ten Years on a Georgia Plantation (ISBN 1-498-15893-5).[9] It is considered the best account of what it was like for whites who were former plantation owners in Georgia during Reconstruction. In Frances' view, blacks fared better under slavery than freedom. Due to the lack of slave labor, and the postwar depression in the South, plantations were doomed to fail, and the fifth generation of Butlers sold the remains of their lands in 1923.[10]
A description of the plantation from November 1873:
I am monarch of all I survey, which is an island of about 1,600 acres, surrounded by a muddy-looking river, called the romantic-sounding Indian name of the Altamaha. ... Our castle is a neat but not gaudy little frame house, with a piazza in front of it, from which you descend by six steps to a garden, or rather a small grove of orange trees, palmettoes, oleanders, and roses. The first-named are laden with golden fruit, of a quality unsurpassed anywhere in the world, I am bold to say, for size and sweetness. We are hard at work now packing them up for market, and shall have over 100 barrels for sale. The interior of the mansion is in accordance with its modest exterior; a small dining-room, a small drawing-room, a very small office or study, a small hall, a pantry, and two comfortable bedrooms on the ground-floor, and two more comfortable bedrooms over the dining and drawing-rooms. At the rear of the house about twelve yards, is what is called the colony, where are situated the kitchen, servants' sitting-room and bedrooms, the laundry and dairy, and in a corner of the yard is a turkey-house, full of prime Christmas fowl.
Behind the colony is Settlement No. 1, where the coloured people (I believe this is the correct term) reside. It consists of an avenue of orange trees, on each side of which are rows of wooden houses, and at the end of which, facing the avenue, is what was the old hospital, but which is now half of it the church. ... Immediately in front of our garden is the Altamaha river, with the landing-place for the boats, and from which all the water-supply is drawn. On the left of us is the overseer's house, a larger and more imposing edifice, although not so comfortable as ours. On the right are the barns and the threshing mill and engine, which are very nearly finished, and present a magnificent appearance from the river. The old mill, with all the valuable machinery, was burnt down a year ago. The rest of the island consists of rice-fields, of which about 1,000 acres are under cultivation or cultivable, some marsh land covered with thick bamboo and reeds, in which the wild duck do congregate, and some scrubby brushwood; also Settlements Nos. 2 and 3, an old rickety, but very large barn, a ruined mill, a ruined sugar-house.[11]
Not an easy church to find at first, being set back from the road masked by trees and houses, SS Peter & Paul's at Butler's Marston sits in an attractively secluded churchyard with it's golden brown 15th century tower and paler nave and south aisle (under a single sweeping roof). Much of it was rebuilt by the Victorians, but the sturdy three bay transitional Norman south arcade survives within.
There are several Victorian windows within, mostly by Clayton & Bell (except east window by Holland of Warwick). A fine Baroque tablet clings above the nave arcade and the old Georgian reredos of painted Scriptures is now squeezed into the small space of the south aisle. The slender font is the only medieval furnishing left, the rest is Victorian and later work.
The church is normally kept locked and this was my second attempt to get inside. Despite having heard it was open on saturdays this seems no longer the case so I phoned the churchwarden who kindly opened up for me.

Shene.
Gamaliel Butler, a lawyer and trader (1783-1852) briefly visited Hobart in 1820 encouraged by his brother-in-law Edward Paine. Gamaliel had married Sarah Paine in 1810.Edward Paine drowned in the Derwent soon after 1820 and Butler made arrangements to emigrate with his wife in 1824. He left his six children in England. He took up land, originally granted in 1819 to Edward Paine and he acquired another land grant all at Pontville. The original part of Shene House and the kitchens were probably built in 1822 before Butler took over the property in 1824. In 1825 one of his sons, Francis an architect, designed a bigger residence. Gamaliel was admitted to the bar and mainly lived in his Battery Point residence, Stowell just behind Narryna House. His six children came out from England and another six were born during the 1830s and 1840s. One of his sons Charles ran Shene property, obtained 16 convict labourers and extended the house, built a large woolshed (1843) with his initials above the door carved in stone, and had work started on fancy Gothic style stables and haysheds. With the cessation of transportation in 1853 work on the stable stopped. Gamaliel died in 1852 (and is buried in St Mark’s Anglican cemetery in Pontville) and his wife continued to own the property until her death in 1870. In 1872 the property was auctioned and purchased by Maurice Paine, a relative. Butlers are still wealthy pastoralists and lawyers in Tasmania. At a recent Sotheby’s auction in 2009 two painted miniatures of one of Gamaliel’s sons and his wife, painted in the 1830s, were sold for $102,000.

The sign over Butler's Appliance Service, 249 Coxwell. A family business since 1927, and since 1947 at this location. One of the few places left, in our throw-away world, to get an appliance repaired.

These are all my grandmother's children, she never lost a one of them in those times, and they all graduated from college. When the Chatauqua came to town, she would work on the grounds or supply milk to get tickets for her family to benefit from the cultural advantage.
This redefines the phrase, "serving your master."
...and now that I think about it, she's serving the Butler?
