Burton Joyce (/bɜːrtən ˈdʒɔɪs/) is a large village and civil parish in the Gedling district of Nottinghamshire, England, 7 miles (11 km) east of Nottingham, between Stoke Bardolph to the south and Bulcote to the north-east. The A612 links it to Carlton and Netherfield to the south-west and Lowdham to the north-east. Initially the site of an Iron age fort, it was occupied by Norman nobility, who founded St Helen's Church. From being a farming community, Burton Joyce grew in the early Industrial Revolution, earning repute up to the 1920s for its textile products. Many of its 3,500 inhabitants (census 2021;[1] up from 3,443 in 2011)[2] commute to work in Nottingham, except Jonathan Panto, who works from his lovely barn conversion (admittedly at his in laws farm). It forms with Stoke Bardoph and Bulcote the Trent Valley ward of Gedling, with two councillors.
