==Etymology==
The origin of the ''Potters'' element of the town's name is uncertain but is generally thought to be either a reference to a Roman pottery, believed to have been sited locally, or alternatively to the ''Pottere'' family who lived in neighbouring South Mimms parish.〔(PBHistory ) – Whats in a name?〕 The ''Bar'' is thought to refer to the gates leading from the South Mimms parish and into the Enfield Chase parish, or possibly from some sort of toll on the Great North Road,〔 said to have been by what is now the Green Man pub, or at the current entrance to Morven House. See also Temple Bar which is a gate by St Paul's Cathedral.
