Potterton is a hamlet 1.5km (00.9miles) north of Barwick-in-Elmet in City of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.[1] It falls within the Harewood ward of the Leeds Metropolitan Council.[2] It is just south of the A64 road and so has access to junction 44 of the A1(M) motorway 2.5miles away, with Leeds only 7miles to the west.[3]
The hamlet is described in the Domesday Book as being part of the Skyrack Wapentake and belonging to Earl Edwin. The name itself is said to derive from 'Pottere Tun', meaning 'The Potter's farmstead'.[4] [5]
The west wing of Potterton Hall was declared a Grade II* listed building in 1982.
South of Potterton lies the deserted medieval village of Potterton, which includes many earthworks and a Holloway. The area is scheduled as an ancient monument.
