class=\"wpr-description\"><p>When the need for some place for religious worship at Warsash was first mooted the Rev. John Flower, who was then pastor of Titchfield chapel, came to Warsash and talked the matter over with a few of the inhabitants. It was desirable that the place should be as near the centre of the village as possible and ivy cottage was the obvious choice. \u00a0 the necessary arrangements were made and the first services were held on the 19th July 1811, and conducted by the Rev John Flower.\u00a0 from that time services on the sabbath were conducted by students from the bible college at Gosport, and the Rev John Flower took the services on week nights.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article><span class=\"wpr-year-wrap\"><span class=\"wpr-year-label wpr-year\">1845<\/span><\/span><article class=\"wpr-timeline-entry wpr-right-aligned elementor-repeater-item-65e4b7f\" data-item-id=\"elementor-repeater-item-65e4b7f\"><time class=\"wpr-extra-label\" data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-left=\"\" data-aos-right=\"\" data-animation-offset=\"150\" data-animation-duration=\"600\"><span class=\"wpr-label\">22nd July 1845 - 1846<\/span><\/time><div class=\"wpr-timeline-entry-inner\"><div class=\"wpr-main-line-icon wpr-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-calendar-alt\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M148 288h-40c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-40c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h40c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v40c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12zm108-12v-40c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v40c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h40c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12zm96 0v-40c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v40c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h40c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12zm-96 96v-40c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v40c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h40c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12zm-96 0v-40c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v40c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h40c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12zm192 0v-40c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v40c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h40c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12zm96-260v352c0 26.5-21.5 48-48 48H48c-26.5 0-48-21.5-48-48V112c0-26.5 21.5-48 48-48h48V12c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h40c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v52h128V12c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h40c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v52h48c26.5 0 48 21.5 48 48zm-48 346V160H48v298c0 3.3 2.7 6 6 6h340c3.3 0 6-2.7 6-6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"wpr-story-info-vertical wpr-data-wrap \"  data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-left=\"\" data-aos-right=\"\" data-animation-offset=\"150\" data-animation-duration=\"600\"><div class=\"wpr-animation-wrap wpr-timeline-media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"429\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/warsashurc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1858.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsashurc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1858.png 429w, https:\/\/warsashurc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1858-300x191.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"wpr-timeline-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpr-content-wrapper\"><p class=\"wpr-title-wrap\"><span class=\"wpr-title\">Warsash URC History 1845 - 1846<\/span><\/p><div class=\"wpr-description\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2013\" src=\"http:\/\/warsashurc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1890-288x300.png\" alt=\"About us\" width=\"288\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsashurc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1890-288x300.png 288w, https:\/\/warsashurc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1890.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/>The next record is that Mr I Bevis built a small chapel near the corner for which he charged a rental of 6 guineas per annum. In this chapel the Rev John Flower continued to conduct the week night services and the services on the sabbath were taken by friends from Portsea, Gosport and other places.<\/p><p>Then, in the year 1846 Mr James Gray of Fishhouse, gave a piece of land in the corner of a field between Warsash corner and yew tree farm as a site for the erection of a chapel. The foundation stone was laid on 22nd July 1845 and the independent chapel opened on 30th September 1845. The car park to the right of the church building today is where this chapel stood. On the photo you can see the present building in the background.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article><span class=\"wpr-year-wrap\"><span class=\"wpr-year-label wpr-year\">1890<\/span><\/span><article class=\"wpr-timeline-entry wpr-left-aligned elementor-repeater-item-93dd62c\" data-item-id=\"elementor-repeater-item-93dd62c\"><time class=\"wpr-extra-label\" data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-left=\"\" data-aos-right=\"\" data-animation-offset=\"150\" data-animation-duration=\"600\"><span class=\"wpr-label\">26th May 1890<\/span><\/time><div class=\"wpr-timeline-entry-inner\"><div class=\"wpr-main-line-icon wpr-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-calendar-alt\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M148 288h-40c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-40c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h40c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v40c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12zm108-12v-40c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v40c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h40c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12zm96 0v-40c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v40c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h40c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12zm-96 96v-40c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v40c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h40c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12zm-96 0v-40c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v40c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h40c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12zm192 0v-40c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v40c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h40c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12zm96-260v352c0 26.5-21.5 48-48 48H48c-26.5 0-48-21.5-48-48V112c0-26.5 21.5-48 48-48h48V12c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h40c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v52h128V12c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h40c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v52h48c26.5 0 48 21.5 48 48zm-48 346V160H48v298c0 3.3 2.7 6 6 6h340c3.3 0 6-2.7 6-6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"wpr-story-info-vertical wpr-data-wrap \"  data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-left=\"\" data-aos-right=\"\" data-animation-offset=\"150\" data-animation-duration=\"600\"><div class=\"wpr-animation-wrap wpr-timeline-media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"718\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/warsashurc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1899.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsashurc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1899.png 718w, https:\/\/warsashurc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1899-300x240.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"wpr-timeline-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpr-content-wrapper\"><p class=\"wpr-title-wrap\"><span class=\"wpr-title\">Warsash URC History 1890<\/span><\/p><div class=\"wpr-description\"><p>The new chapel was opened on May 26th 1890 and for that it was decided at the church meeting \"admittance to the new chapel be by shilling tickets, the same to invite one to the tea and the after meeting in the evening.
