TOM MUCKLEY, PETERSFIELD, HANTS

Petersfield is a historic market town situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the Hampshire/Sussex border. A thriving community in its own right, it is a focus for many fascinating and attractive villages, all of them steeped in their own history yet gradually changing to adapt to the demands of the 21st century.

This collection of short articles tries to reflect the diverse nature of the place, its history, its natural beauty and its thriving artistic community. Unless otherwise stated, they all first appeared in the popular local paper, and are reproduced courtesy of
the Petersfield Post.

The majority of the photographs were taken by the author, and the others retain their own copyright.
