St. Mary the Virgin at Potterne was built in the 13th century and
is a splendid church to visit, especially if you are interested in genealogy
as there are lots of memorials and other features to see.
The church is near the top of a hill and is difficult to photograph because of its
position and due to it being surrounded by trees. However, it is an attractive
building and appears to be in good condition. A printed leaflet - A brief
History and Guide - is available inside the church to point out historical features;
we have used this as our information source.
