Petersfield, Hampshire

The area bounded by the towns of Petersfield, Buriton and Sheep lie within the manor of Mapledurham, which appears in the Domesday book.
The town was founded during the 12th century by William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester, later chartered by his widow, Hawise de Beaumont, and confirmed by charter in 1198 from "John, Count of Mortain" (later to be King John).
The town lies in a valley with the South Downs to the South and was an important staging point on the North/South road between London and Portsmouth (now the A3). East/West links between Winchester and Chichester (now A272) also pass through the town.
The town also has a station on the London (Waterloo) - Portsmouth main line.
A market is held in the Square twice a week.

St. Peter's Church is the Anglican parish church and is within the Diocese of Portsmouth. The ancient church is still very much a focal point within Petersfield, and is located in the centre of town, on the south side of the Square.<br />
<br />
St. Peter's was originally a Norman building; the north and south aisles were added at the end of the 12th century. The tower was raised to its present height during the 14th century and a parapet added. During the 15th century, several windows with perpendicular tracery were inserted.
