        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.
