Hamlet in South Gloucestershire, England, UK
Petty France is a hamlet within Hawkesbury civil parish in South Gloucestershire, England. It is on the A46, which runs from Bath, to Nailsworth and Stroud, just south of another, slightly smaller hamlet, Dunkirk. Badminton and Hawkesbury Upton are also nearby.
The Manor House in Petty France was built in 1812 for Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool, prime minister from 1812 to 1827. The house has seen the likes of Lord Wellington, and has been in the ownership of the poet Wordsworth's family, Lord and Lady Apsley and the Duke of Beaufort; today it is a hotel.[1]
