Richard Huddleston Potter, John’s father, did not follow his father into the manufacture of instruments but he played the flute and became a renowned musician, being an accomplished flautist and violinist and an outstanding piano teacher. He was the organist at nearby St Bride’s Church in Fleet Street, from 1782 until his death in 1821. He married Charlotte Baumgarten, the daughter of Samuel Baumgarten, a celebrated bassoon player of his day, at St Bride’s Church on 28 January 1783 in the presence of his father Richard – still in his year of office as Master of the Turner’s Company. Coincidentally, St Bride’s became the Patronal Church of the Turners’ Company in 1987.
