Situated five miles northeast of Nottingham on the north bank of the River Trent, Burton Joyce occupies a thin strip of land where the valley floor meets the rising hills of the Trent Valley. Historically known as *Bertune* in the Domesday Book, the village takes the second part of its name from the de Jorz family, who were the local landowners in the 13th century. It remains a distinct settlement, separated from the urban sprawl of Carlton and Netherfield by a narrow green gap. The village is bisected by the A612 and the Nottingham-Lincoln railway line, with the station still providing a direct, albeit sometimes infrequent, link to the city centre. Life here tends to centre around the Main Street shops and the open spaces near the river, where the floodplains provide a natural limit to development. While much of the village is now dominated by mid-20th-century housing, the core around the Grade I listed St Helen’s Church retains the character of its agricultural past, back when the local economy was built on farming and framework knitting.
