"The Village"
"The Village"
I had a ploughman's lunch at the pub on Tuesday. If this is a village (it is a manufactured housing estate) then I'm a farmer.
Petersfield

Petersfield's history dates back at least 4,000 years to the burial mounds on The Heath. The town was founded during the 12th century by WilliamFitzRobert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester; and confirmed by charter in 1198. The town grew in prosperity due to its position on frequently travelled routes. There has been a weekly market in The Square since mediaeval times where there is an 18th-century statue of William III. Since the building of the by-pass in the early nineties, it has become less hectic and more tourist orientated.
