Burton Joyce history

---

Early history

The village is also notable for the site of a substantial Iron Age hillfort or bertune. It was excavated in 1950–1951. The discovery of Gaulish-made samian ware and a distinctive coin have led archaeologists to believe the fort was occupied by Roman soldiers sometime after their invasion of Britain in 43 AD under Vespasian.

Middle ages

Domesday Book of 1086 refers to “a church and a priest, sixteen acres of meadow, valued at one mark of silver” Little is known of the original church, except that reclaimed skerry stone was used to build the north aisle of the current St Helen’s Church by Norman settlers. Restoration of the building in the 13th or early 14th century included a southward extension and rebuilding of the chancel.

Early modern

Burton Joyce’s history in the early modern period is largely agricultural. Evidence includes the presence of hedgerows on the bank of the River Trent, erected in the 16th century to enforce the Tudor land enclosure policy. Prominent landowners at the time included the Padley family, whose mansion was built in 1500 and owned by the family for 300 years.
