Background

History

The village's name was spelled Pottun in 960 and Potone in the 1086 Domesday Book. It is derived from the Old English for "farmstead where pots are made". Evidence of early-middle Iron Age settlement in the form of ditches, a pit and sherds of pottery was found in 2009 by archaeologists at Vicarage Farm off the B1042 Gamlingay Road. The parish of Potton underwent parliamentary inclosure twice - once in 1775, and again in 1832.
