The method of ploughing these plots resulted in the familiar ridges seen in many old cultivated fields.
Within the villages of BJ and Bulcote the nature of the soil varies immensely and because of this the plots were allotted as fairly as possible so that the good and bad land was shared and evened out equitably amongst the workers of the land.

1609 The earliest map of BJ is one of Sherwood Forest dated 1609.
It shows BJ consists of Main St, Lambley Lane, and Meadow lane ( the eventual Old road to Grimsby).
About 35 houses were scattered around these roads and the population calculated from Baptisms, Hearth Tax and Visitation returns was about 145.
In the next two centuries the population grew very slowly, in 1801 when official census returns began BJ was accredited with a population of 447.

HEALTH-
There was outbreaks of plague in
Nottingham 1631/36.
Infant mortality was always high , with
smallpox, scarlet fever typhus, typhoid and gastro complaints prevalent -
personal hygiene, dirty hands, contaminated drinking water etc., were the
likely causes#
OCCUPATIONS -
Mainly Agriculture In BJ the Open Field
System was where the arable land would be -
Crock
or West Field, Smith Moor Hill or Brusto or Birstie Hill Field, Mill Field, Low
Field & Upper Field ( common to Bulcote), Church Field and Skithorne Hill.
Also in Bulcote .
There was a
Mill Field in the SW of BJ near the River Trent, there must have been a Mill in
or near this field for in 1608 a mill was reported as suffering storm damage at
BJ, together with one at Stoke Bardolph.
The
Smithmoor Hill Farm or Brusto Field was on the hill to the north and still survives
today in Brusto House (alongside the developments of Foxhill Road and Hillcrest Gardens).
Open
fields were sub-divided into furlong long plots of varying size which usually
depended upon the contour and nature of the land.
The method of ploughing these plots resulted in the familiar ridges seen in many old cultivated fields.
Should a ploughman stray onto a
neighbours plot , a fine would be incurred (in Bulcote this was 5/-d five shillings or 25p in todays money).
Within the villages of BJ and Bulcote the nature of the soil varies immensely and because of this the plots were allotted as fairly as possible so that the good and bad land was shared and evened out equitably amongst the workers of the land.
AVERAGE WAGES ( Notts) -
Meane
Servant - 25s per year ( £1.25p today)
Thatcher,
Hedger, Ditcher, Agricultural (winter rate)-6d per day ( 2.5p a day)
Note!

1589 *** The Rev William Lee of Calverton ( some researchers suggest he was of Woodboro- practising his religion in
Calverton) invented, built and worked the First “Frame Work Knitting
machine” and produced goods in either Calverton or Woodboro with varying
profit ***

1611 John Alvey - Chamberlain of Nottingham
1613 John (Joseph?)Alvey ( Baker) Sheriff of Nottingham Joseph Alvey _ Sheriff of Nottingham together
with a Messr Jowitt as the second Sheriff.
It was customary for the Sheriffs to finance a Sheriff’s Dinner. In this instance they were both summoned before the Town Council “to show cause why they do not make their Sheriffs dinner this year according to custom, they both answered it peremptorily that they will neither make dinner nor give a penny fine or composition, “

Whereupon all agree, except a John Stanley to fine them £10 otherwise they are to be dis-franchised, made foreigners, and their burgess parts taken from them Jowitt paid and
was
allowed a rebate of half his fine of £5; but Joseph Alvey only paid after
much argument, his rebate was only £1..........Ah! the bloody mindedness of an Alvey
