Petersfield is an ancient town set in
an area of outstanding natural beauty. The area of Mapledurham, which
comprised of Buriton, Petersfield and Sheet is mentioned in the Domesday
book.
Bronze Age and Iron Age burial mounds are still to be found on The Heath
which is a 69 acre area of grass and heathland set around a 22 acre pond
and is considered by many residents and visitors to be the jewel in
Petersfield’s crown. |

The Town is built around two squares, The Square and
The Spain and retains beautiful buildings from all ages. A twice weekly
market is still held every Wednesday and Saturday in The Square.
Petersfield is a delightful place to shop with a wide range of individual
shops together with many high street chains. |

Petersfield has easy access by means of two major roads
crossing through Petersfield and is also on the main London to Portsmouth
rail link. The Town is surrounded by beautiful countryside which is soon
to be designated as a National Park. The Town prides itself on being a
great place to live and work and has a population approaching 14,000.
With such beautiful countryside and ease of access to neighbouring large
cities and commuting to London, Petersfield is increasingly popular as a
residential area. |

The Town Council,
the first Quality Town Council in Hampshire, takes great pride in the Town
and is active in ensuring Petersfield remains the lovely market town it is
whilst ensuring that the needs of residents and visitors are met.
