History

Local history is vitally important and interesting - linked together with the ever increasing interest of the public in genealogy, it becomes an interest that can become all consuming . However, there is one fact for sure that an interest in local and family history is not only enlightening and personally satisfying, it is also constructive in establishing and developing a much clearer understanding of the circumstances our forbears and locality lived thro. The subject also bring together individuals with a mutual interest in detecting, discovery and a realisation of the development of our village and community

So why not begin to investigate you own circumstance, and  if you are new to the village, why not adopt a local project which will assist in developing the fuller picture of the Burton Joyce locality

After all, there are areas locally which have produced Roman remains, were part of Sherwood Forest, with past celebrities who could well have been involved with Robin Hood !
