Potsgrove / Potesgrava / Potesgrave / Pottesgrove

There are four entries for Potsgrove [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP9529/potsgrove/] [accessed 23 September 2015], but none mentions cleric or church in it, except one of the parts had as lord in 1066 "Morcar the priest of Luton", who no longer held the place in 1086. The Victoria County History (Bedfordshire, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The church of Potsgrove was granted by Henry II [1154-1189] to the monastery of St. Albans [...] The church of St. Mary was 'entirely restored' in 1881 [...] Inside, however, the old plastering and the stonework of the jambs and heads of some of the windows show that a good deal of the mediaeval church remains. [...] The whole belongs to c. 1320–40, though a few 12th and 13th-century stones built into the north wall of the nave show that an earlier church existed. [...] The font, of Purbeck marble, is modern". [NB: we have no information on its medieval font].
