History
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 praises the "undisturbed" setting. To the north of the church is the locality’s most distinctive landmark: the tall octagonal turret of Warblington Castle. In October 1551, Mary of Guise the widow of James V of Scotland stayed a night in the castle as a guest of Sir Richard Cotton.[3]
Unusually, Warblington contains a large secondary school (Warblington School)[4] but no primary school.
Warblington railway station is on the West Coastway Line.
