*************

Romsey (/ˈrɒmzi/ ROM-zee) is a market town in the county of Hampshire, England. Romsey was home to the 19th-century British prime minister Lord Palmerston, whose statue has stood in the town centre since 1857. The town was also the home of the 17th-century philosopher and economist William Petty and the 20th-century soldier and statesman Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Notable buildings are the Corn Exchange, built in 1864, and the town hall, which was built in 1866.

It is 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Southampton, 11 miles (18 km) southwest of Winchester and 17 miles (27 km) southeast of Salisbury. Nearby is the village of North Baddesley. Just over 19,000 people live in Romsey, which has an area of about 1.90 sq mi (4.93 km²).^[2] The town's population is expected to increase to 20,549 by 2020, as a result of substantial housebuilding in the Abbotswood development. This represents a 5.6% increase since 2015. ^[3]

Romsey is one of the principal towns in the Test Valley Borough and lies on the River Test, which is known for fly fishing, predominantly trout.^[4] Romsey Abbey, the largest parish church in Hampshire, dominates the centre of the town. As of 2019, the town centre is undergoing substantial remodelling, with the stated aim of improving access for pedestrians and cyclists. Hampshire County Council expect the work to be complete in the summer of 2019. ^[5]

Romsey is twinned with Paimpol in Brittany, France, and Battenberg, Germany.^[6]
