  • Warblington with Emsworth & Notes on Rowland’S Castle Warblington with Emsworth & Notes on Rowland’S Castle
    Warblington with Emsworth & notes on Rowland’s Castle Warblington with Emsworth & notes on Rowland’s Castle 1.0 PARISH Havant (formerly Warblington) 2.0 HUNDRED Bosmere 3.0 NGR 472900 105400 4.0 GEOLOGY Brickearth. 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Warblington is something of an oasis in an urban sprawl. Immediately to the north (0.5km) the expansion of Havant has been held in check by east / west route of the A27(T), and across wetlands to the east (1km) is the small town of Emsworth. The church and ruined castle occupy the highest ground (approximately 9m AOD) overlooking a stream just 200m to the east that drains into the nearby Langstone and Chichester Harbours (c. 300m south). 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4, & 5) Church and manor house 6.1.1 Church & manor house The core of the manor of Warblington is the Saxon parish church of St Thomas a Becket and, c. 150m north of it, the moated Warblington Castle. The moat is conspicuous on the Tithe Map of c. 1841 and all subsequent Ordnance Surveys. The remains of a substantial C16 gateway draw the eye but this was built on the site of an earlier moated manor. Moated sites (excluding castles) tend to be a feature of C12 to C15. There is also mention of a park at Warblington and VCH (3: 134) suggests that this might have surrounded the manor house. Moat, park, and the medieval new town at Emsworth (see Paragraph 6.2.1) are features that are quite consistent with the aspirations of the late medieval gentry, but this raises a problem.

"Following the excitement of seeing our first Purple Emperor inside our office yesterday, exactly the same thing happened again today at around 9.45am. The office door was open and we spotted a butterfly on the inside of the window, on closer inspection we realised it was a Purple Emperor. It was much smaller than the one we had seen the day before and more battered. However we were able to take pictures of it, in fact the butterfly actually climbed onto one of the cameras and remained there for a while. It then climbed from camera to hand, and we took it outside for more pictures before it eventually flew off. It seemed to be feeding off the hand.".

If it has, IF here and there, a thought or an idea not generally obvious, it may perhaps be forgiven the repetitions which are inevitable in describing similar details forgiven the recital of familiar facts, whether historical, archaeological or natural forgiven, where, by the light of later or expert knowledge, errors are apparent. Some of these blemishes are consequent on the passage of time necessary to cover so large an area by frequent personal visitation. Some thirty-seven rambles are described, about equally divided between the east and west divisions of the county. Although indications of route are given, chiefly for the benefit of strangers, it does not claim to be a guide-book. Its size would preclude such a use. Neither does it pretend to be exhaustive.

Fogden agreed, as long as Martin paid for the oysters. They then went to the King’s Head for a glass of brandy, followed by an eel pie supper at Martin’s house.

  • The Birds of Warblington & Emsworth
    The Birds of Warblington & Emsworth A personal report for 2017 (with selected historical data back to 2013) Wryneck at Pook Lane By Peter Milinets-Raby (Published January 2017 – 4th Edition) The Birds of Warblington & Emsworth - a personal bird report This report started as a simple counting list to try and establish the number of species seen in the “patch” that I have started to watch regularly since 2013. It developed quickly into a summarised digest of my sightings and then an examination of trends relating to key species, such as Greenshank, Knot, Curlew Sandpiper and Bar-tailed Godwit. Wishing to learn more about the status of these species prompted me to explore the Hampshire Bird Reports as well as the Sussex Bird Reports. The vague lumping of sightings in these editorials for this niche corner of south eastern Hampshire gave me the final impetus to develop the report into a summary of my own records and an exploration of historical archives to try and establish as far as possible a definitive list of the area. Scouring Bird Reports is a thankless task and I have been as careful as possible to pick out the species and records that relate to the area of this report. I have only investigated back to the turn of the century via the yearly bird reports and searched through the Birds of Hampshire. I know from personal experience of watching a local patch that certain ‘wandering’ species will get seen at some point and some of these are clearly missing from this report. So please, if after reading this report if you know of any additions to the list then get in touch.
