Petworth is a ward in the district of Chichester, in West Sussex, England, set on the edge of the rolling chalk downland of the South Downs National Park. The area centres on the historic market town, notable for its wide Georgian streetscape and its proximity to the famous Petworth House and Park, a large stately home and deer park that draws visitors and shapes the local character.
Locally the economy leans on tourism, antiques and independent shops, with an active arts scene and events such as the Petworth Festival adding cultural punch; agriculture and rural services remain important too. The ward combines a long-established community, conservation-led planning and a steady stream of visitors, giving it a mix of village social life and heritage-driven commerce.
