Petworth
Petworth is a small town and civil parish in the Chichester District of West Sussex. The town is mentioned in Domesday Book. It is best known as the location of the stately home Petworth House, the grounds of which (known as Petworth Park) are the work of Capability Brown. The House and its grounds are now owned and maintained by the National Trust. On 20 November (St. Edmunds day) each year, the market square is closed off to traffic so that a fun fair can be held. This is the modern survival of an ancient custom.
