Description: | The square at Titchfield is full of school children in
their best clothes with boys and girls in opposite groups. The square has always been the centre of village life and a market, mentioned on the Domesday Book, was held for hundreds of years. A Market Hall was built in the square in the 16th century where it stood for about three hundred years. This was where the five day fairs granted to the Abbot of Titchfield by King Henry VI were held.
