{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2015}}{{Use British English|date=July 2015}}Ready Token is a hamlet in Gloucestershire, in the Cotswold Hills near Poulton, England. Despite comprising only a handful of houses it is located at a high point and is notable for being the meeting place of six country roads and nine parish boundaries.^[1] It lies at the intersection of the ancient drove road known as the Welsh Way and the Roman Akeman Street.^[2] It once possessed an inn, recorded in 1738 as under the sign Ready Token Ash.^[3]

The name is a fusion of the Celtic word rhydd and the Saxon word tacen meaning the way to the ford. The ford being that across the River Coln at Fairford.^[3]

Another explanation for the name is that the inn extended no credit and would only accept cash payment, i.e. "ready cash" or "tokens".^[4]

It is the site of a house which has a butterfly shaped plan which mirrors the local butterfly shaped road pattern designed by the Arts and Crafts movement architect, Norman Jewson, built in 1928-1929.^[5]
