In 1600 the population of Ruddington was 320, and the village remained much as it had been for centuries. There were four large Open Fields: Micklebarrow Field, Mill Field, Collicross Field and Thornditch Field. The villagers grew crops in the strips of these fields and grazed animals on the Waste, Commons and Leys. Both the Lay Rector and the Lord of the Manor were non-resident. In 1641 James Peacock, Citizen of London and Master of the Skinners' Company, who had been born in Ruddington, founded a Free School for the children of the village. Hugh Barlow, the first schoolmaster, later became Vicar. Towards the end of the century there was a Quaker Community and a Meeting House in the village. In 1698 there was a partial enclosure when Thornditch Field on the Southwest of the parish became pasture land.
