The first reference to the village appears in the Domesday Book of 1086. The village is first recorded as "Potesgraue".[1] Later references record the village as "Pottesgrove", which is still used in the name of the local ecclesiastical parish.[2]
Manor Farm in Potsgrove for many years was run by the G Hunter and son. The farm organisation had a successful syndicate shoot for many years also included a dairy milk herd along with beef stock.[citation needed]
The village held an annual clay shoot which included team guns vs. beaters, plus an open free-to-all shoot off at the end of the day[citation needed]
Prominent local families included the McClurg's who lived at the old school house and worked at manor farm for many years (1970-2013), the Hodges, Bentley's and Grahams.[citation needed]
Potsgrove had its own school until the early 1900s, along with a pub called the Sow and Pigs.[citation needed]
