PETERSFIELD
'Peter's open land' The church dedication is to St Peter. But there are cases
of rededication of churches where the saint's name is suggested by the parish
name (cf CATHERINGTON). If appearances are deceptive, perhaps this is Old
English 'Peohthere's open land'. Since the name is not recorded till the late
12th century, an open mind on the likely date of origin and interpretation is
desirable; on the element 'feld' see Gelling (1984: 235-45).

Defoe 1724
... so I came away north east, leaving Winchester a little on the left, and
came into the Portsmouth road at Petersfield, a town eminent for little, but its
being full of good inns, and standing in the middle of a country, still
over-grown with a prodigious quantity of oak-timber.
