Welcome to the Warsash Local History Society website. We are a thriving society with over ninety members.
We hold five meetings a year and at those meetings we have a visiting speaker giving a presentation on aspects of history particularly relevant to Warsash. These talks are usually held at St. Mary’s Church in Warsash. Since Covid restrictions have been in place we have arranged Zoom meetings.
I became Chair of the society in 2016 taking over from Glenda Edmondson who had been acting Chair since 2013. Glenda is one of the founder members of the Society, having also served as Secretary since its inception. The previous Chair had been Leila Kroon, also one of the founder members of the society, who had been in post since 1998 when the society was founded.
I hope our website will give you an insight into the rich history of Warsash and the surrounding area.
Peter Corney.
