Warblington, historically part of the Hundred of Bosmere ^[1], is a suburb of Havant, a town in Hampshire, England, a country of the United Kingdom. It is part of the parish of St Thomas à Becket, Warblington and St James, Emsworth^[2]. Pevsner(1967) describes the church of St Thomas as essentially late 12th century and commends the "undisturbed" setting. To the north of the church is the locality’s most distinctive landmark: the tall octagonal turret of the ruined castle(Timmins 2007). Unusually it contains a large secondary school^[3] but no primary.
