Burton Joyce

Located in the Gedling district of Nottinghamshire, England, just 7 miles east of Nottingham, Burton Joyce is a charming large village and civil parish. Bordering Stoke Bardolph to the south and Bulcote to the north-east, this picturesque village is well-connected by the A612, linking it to Carlton, Netherfield, and Lowdham. Steeped in history, Burton Joyce was initially an Iron Age fort before being inhabited by Norman nobility, who established St Helen's Church. Transitioning from a farming community to a thriving village during the early Industrial Revolution, Burton Joyce gained renown for its textile products until the 1920s. With a population of approximately 3,500 residents, many commuters travel to Nottingham for work. Part of the Trent Valley ward of Gedling along with Stoke Bardoph and Bulcote, it is represented by two councillors. When exploring Burton Joyce, visitors can expect a delightful blend of historical significance and modern-day charm.
