Warsash is a village in southern Hampshire, England,[2] situated at the mouth of the River Hamble, west of the area known as Locks Heath and south of Sarisbury.

It is also home to the Warsash Maritime Academy, part of Southampton Solent University, which provides training for Merchant Navy Officers from around the world.

Papers relating to the surrender of Titchfield Abbey in 1537 refer to the area now known as Warsash as 'Warish Asse Field'.

At the end of this war Hook's importance declined, and for the next 300 years it, Chilling and Warsash continued as hamlets making livings from fishing and smuggling.

The main sources of income for the area were the burgeoning strawberry growing industry and traditional fishing and agriculture.

[5] Alongside these industries grew businesses providing refreshments and services to visitors to the area, especially those of the new leisure sailing pursuits.

Warsash House Estate built a tower faced by a clock in the centre of the village to hold up to 6,000 gallons of water.

In 2000, local sculptor Ian G Brennan was commissioned to produce a bas-relief carving to be fitted above the entrance to the vestry.

Throughout the nineteen sixties and seventies the ferry was run by a Ray Sedgwick, a local boatman who hired boats out to tourists etc.
