  • 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.

  • The Real Natives
    ‘Real Natives’ A Study of the History of Oyster Fishing in Chichester Harbour for the Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority Dr Ian Friel MA, PhD, FSA © Ian Friel 2020 Oysters - a once-common food Poor food for friars ‘Give me then of thy gold, to make our cloister’, Quoth he, ‘for many a mussel and many an oyster ‘When other men have been full well at ease ‘Hath been our food, our cloister for to raise’ Geoffrey Chaucer, The Summoner’s Tale, c 1387-88 A Chichester bet In 1813 a man named Martin from Dell Quay Mill and another named Fogden from Donnington met at Chalkright’s fishmonger shop in South Street, Chichester, to settle a bet as to who could eat the most oysters: ‘in a short time each swallowed four hundred large ones’ until Martin called for a halt. 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. Ipswich Journal, 11 December 1813, p 1 The London Oyster Season opens: Billingsgate Fishmarket, August 1835: ‘At an early hour a scene of unusual bustle and confusion was apparent. Not less than 5,000 persons were in waiting to be served with the ‘real natives’, while the streets in the vicinity were blocked up with every species of locomotive vehicle to convey the oysters to the various quarters of the metropolis. There were no less than fifty sail of vessels in front of Billingsgate laden with oysters, chiefly from the Kentish coast.

  • 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.

  • Uncovering the Past an Archaeological Study of Oyster Beds at Emsworth Project Summary
    Uncovering the Past An Archaeological Study of Oyster Beds at Emsworth Project Summary Julie Satchell About the Project The Emsworth oyster beds were part of a system of natural and artificial beds and pits used to seed, sort and grow oysters. The industry included fleet of dredging vessels to collect oysters from natural and artificial beds as well as from sources abroad. The timber remains of the oyster beds are visible on the foreshore at low tide. Archaeological investigation of these remains was undertaken in 2008. Work included foreshore survey involving local volunteers and historical research to help understand the development of the site. The area surveyed in on the north part of the Emsworth foreshore, Figure one shows the oyster beds and features overlain on an Ordnance Survey (OS) map dated to 1974. To the south of these features is an area marked ‘Oyster Bed’ which is the remains of ‘The Ark’ which was also surveyed. Figure 1: Emsworth Harbour showing surveyed oyster beds (Based on 1974 OS map) The History of the Oyster Industry Maps, photographs and documents provide a range of sources of information on the Emsworth oyster industry and the use of the oyster pits and ponds. The site has an interesting development which is related to the oyster trade of the Solent and more widely across England. Map and Chart Evidence The OS maps of the Emsworth area show the extent and arrangement of the oyster pits from the early 19th century onwards. As these maps are updated relatively frequently they show a lot of detail on the changes in the oyster beds over time.

  • Havant Borough Townscape, Landscape and Seascape Character Assessment February 2007 13
    HAVANT BOROUGH TOWNSCAPE, LANDSCAPE AND SEASCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT FEBRUARY 2007 13 HAVANT BOROUGH TOWNSCAPE, LANDSCAPE AND SEASCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT SECTION 2: FORMATIVE INFLUENCES ON THE LANDSCAPE HAVANT BOROUGH TOWNSCAPE, LANDSCAPE AND SEASCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT FEBRUARY 2007 14 FORMATIVE INFLUENCES ON THE LANDSCAPE 2.1 Introduction The patterns and distinctive features of the Havant Borough landscape are a result of the interaction of its physical structure, the nature of the vegetation, the land uses which have resulted, its built form and the continuing influence of human activity. This section draws out the most significant past and present physical and human influences that have shaped the development of Havant Borough. The meaning of technical terms which have been used in this section are set out in the Glossary at the end of the report. 2.2 Landscape, Townscape and Seascape Context Although Havant Borough is relatively small, its landscape, townscape and seascape development is very varied and complex, reflecting the pattern of the wider landscape, townscape and seascape which surround it. Topographically and geologically it sits in the lower levels (below 50mAOD) on the Hampshire Basin clays and sands which extend along the southern seaboard of Hampshire and the Solent. However, the southern part of the Borough, like its neighbour Portsmouth, is distinguished by the higher outcrop of the chalk escarpment at Portsdown Hill. Its coastal lowlands are typical of the mix of urban growth and exposed open landscapes along the Hampshire coast east of Southampton Water, but Hayling Island, in particular, is unique in its harbour and coastal setting and predominantly rural character.

On her early travels in the south Celia Fiennes observed whilst in Chichester: ...; there is an Engine or Mill about a mile off the town draws up salt water at one side from the sea and fresh water from a little rivulet which descends from a hill, and so supply's (sic) the town.1 All mills naturally had marked concentrations in coastal locations and close associations with the surrounding farms which supplied them by ox- or horse-drawn waggons with corn and barley or wheat. Even at the beginning of the twentieth century there must have been as many as two hundred mills still working in Hampshire, though they were fast dying out. Over time Chichester had ten mills and during the nineteenth century Emsworth had no fewer than eight working mills – two water mills, one windmill and two steam sawmills, and three tidal. They formed part of the arc of mills stretching round Chichester and Langstone harbours from Hayling in Hampshire, which had a tide mill at Mill Rythe, to Birdham in West Sussex and were situated on some of the many chalk streams of the two counties which provided an ample supply of water power with little seasonal variation.
