Michelmersh is a small, scattered village in Hampshire, England some three miles north of Romsey.
It forms a civil parish with Timsbury that forms part of the Test Valley district. The Monarch's Way long-distance footpath crosses the parish, passing through the churchyard of the 12th century St Mary's Church.
The parish is located to the east of the River Test on the northern edge of the Hampshire Basin, with chalk in the north overlain by clays and sands of the Lambeth Group to the south.[2] It has a brick and tile works, and extensive former sand pits on Casbrook Common, now used as a landfill site.
