Main content

Sheet is a small historic village, bordered by the River Rother on the northern outskirts of Petersfield, mentioned in the Domesday Book and lying across the old London Road (A3) from Portsmouth to the capital. Sheet Bridge was the site of the important Toll House through which such famous people as Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington had to pass in years gone by. It was once owned by the father of Edward Gibbon, one of England’s greatest historians. Old Sheet House, built in 1670, still stands at the corner of Village St, looking towards Sheet Bridge. Modern Sheet has many amenities: a Common with views to the South Downs, a Millennium Field for walks and picnics, a Parish Church, a Village Hall, a Recreation Ground, Sheet Allotments, a Primary School and two Nursery schools. Village activities include two amateur dramatic societies, a popular film club, a cricket team, and two thriving pubs with gardens. A strong community spirit exists with regular street parties and special events, such as the Sheet Olympics in summer 2024. These are actively supported by the Parish Council, the residents’ Village Association, and the Sheet News magazine published twice a year with articles on the history and life of the village. That the village is inside the South Downs National Park and also has its own Conservation Area encourages residents to hope that the very pleasant village life they enjoy will continue into the future.
