Potterspury is a small, picture-book village in West Northamptonshire, sitting on the southern edge of Northamptonshire countryside. Its name hints at a medieval pottery connection and the settlement retains a historic core of older houses, a parish church and traditional village amenities such as a pub, primary school and village hall that help sustain an active local community.
Despite its rural feel, Potterspury is within easy reach of larger centres like Milton Keynes and Towcester and even the Silverstone circuit, so many residents commute while enjoying surrounding farmland and pockets of ancient woodland such as Whittlewood Forest. The local economy leans on agriculture, small businesses and equestrian activity, and village life is marked by community events, clubs and the steady rhythms of the Northamptonshire countryside.
