Sweets in Romsey: Home to Lord Palmerston's Broadlands Estate

Romsey, in Hampshire, had a population of around 14,500 at the 2021 census — an ancient abbey town that was once home to one of Britain's most powerful Prime Ministers.

The Prime Minister next door

Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, twice British Prime Minister in the 19th century, lived at Broadlands, the grand estate bordering Romsey. The Palmerston family took a close interest in the town, and a bronze statue of him by Matthew Noble has stood in the Market Place since 1868; Broadlands later became home to Lord Mountbatten and his family.

What that history doesn't leave behind

This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.

Why Romsey shoppers order online anyway

For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Romsey shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Southampton or Winchester for a wider selection.
