Venerable Mary Potter (1847-1913) was the foundress of the "Little Company of Mary Sisters" in 1877. She has a Nottingham Tram named after her for this reason, this was done after she was nominated in a BBC poll. In addition one of the conference rooms in the Newton building of Nottingham Trent University was named in honour of her after its refurbishment in January 2010.
She died in 1913 and was declared "venerable" in 1988 by Pope John Paul II.
