Potton in 1835

Potton, 50 miles from London, and 6 or 7 from Biggleswade, has a good corn market, though not equal to what it was formerly ; the decline is attributed by some to a fire which, in 1783, destroyed above fifty houses, and did damage to the amount of more than £25,000. The living is a vicarage in the gift of the crown. It was once held by the celebrated Stillingfleet, who wrote here his Origines Sacrae, a work esteemed one of the best defences of revealed religion.
