A Village with History
Pott Row has a long and interesting past. It has been a settled area for many centuries. Its history is closely linked with its nearby village, Grimston.
Pottery Powerhouse
For a long time, from the 11th to the 16th centuries, Pott Row and Grimston were very important places for making pottery. They produced many pots and other clay items. These items were not just used locally. They were also sent to countries far away, especially to Scandinavia. This shows how skilled the potters in Pott Row were.
Many of the pots made here had unique designs. Some even had small faces carved just under the rim. You can see examples of these old pots in local museums. The Castle Museum in Norwich is one place where you might find them. These ancient pots tell us a lot about daily life and trade from hundreds of years ago.
