Together with my wife, we have lived in Burton Joyce continuously since 1971, operating our own business during the greater period of this time.We committed ourselves to retirement several years ago.

Over the last 3 years, the vast majority of our time has been spent on leisure pursuits and researching our family history. This has revealed that our family originally came to Burton Joyce in the mid 1600’s and appears to have had a presence and served the village continually from that time - as Farmers , Land owners , Blacksmiths, Shop owners, Stockingers and Hosiery Bagmen Motor repairs, Parish Clerk, Verger, etc.

We intend perpetuating this community service by developing and the ongoing administration of the Burton Joyce Online community project
