Potters Marston is a tiny rural parish in the Blaby district of Leicestershire, a few miles south-west of Leicester and close to the villages of Countesthorpe and Kilby. It comprises scattered farmsteads and a handful of houses set among rolling farmland and quiet lanes, so local services and social life tend to revolve around the nearby larger villages.
Despite its size, the parish has a degree of historic and archaeological interest - the name hints at past pottery activity and the area appeals to local historians and walkers alike. Economically it remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting into Leicester or nearby towns, and it retains a distinctly rural character within easy reach of the city.
