Petersfield Museum

[9] Between 2017 and 2021, the Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery underwent a nearly £4 million redevelopment supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

[12] The Fashion and Textiles Collection contains hand-made garments, ready-to-wear clothing and designer items ranging from the 18th century to modern day.

[15] Flora Twort's paintings and drawings captured the scenes from her everyday life in Hampshire and activities including Petersfield Market day and the Taro Fair of the 1920s and 1930s.

[16] In 2016, Don Eades - a photographer from Buriton - gave his life's work to Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery.

The collection pulls daily life from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s into focus, from Petersfield's first supermarket to village sports, cycling proficiency and a futuristic factory.

Edward Thomas (1878-1917) was a British poet, writer, essayist and literary critic who lived locally in the village of Steep.

It was from here he first started writing his poetry in December 1914 at the age of 36, after an already prolific literary career, and over the next two-and a-half years wrote all his 144 poems.

Although being over-age, he enlisted into the Artists Rifles in July 1915, transferred to the Royal Garrison Artillery in October 1916 and was killed on active service at the first Battle of Arras on 9 April 1917.
