Reger Read, comment, and order all booklets at hhbkt.com 3 Preface Much of the material embodied in this little history of Warblington has been taken from a book called The Hundred of Bosmere (comprising the Parishes of Havant, Warblington, and Hayling Island). Original copies are now very scarce [it has been re-printed and is also available to read on the web]. It was published in 1817 by the Havant Press, and, though anonymous, is well-known to have been written by Mr Walter Butler, Solicitor, of Havant, who combined a profound knowledge of the records of this part of the County of Hampshire with much patience in research. We have to express our thanks to the proprietors of the Hampshire Telegraph and the Portsmouth Times for permission to use several extracts from articles on the County which appeared in those papers some years since; and to Mrs Jewell, of Emsworth, in this Parish, for information which her great age and most retentive memory have enabled her, most kindly, to place at our service.
