Next Meeting

The History group

The group started in 2007 and we now meet on the second Thursday
Of the month in the pub. (Please check before attending as we do have to make changes to the date depending on other events) We are a very informal group so please feel free to dip in and out as you see fit. We discuss various topics as well as organising trips and walks. We have already run successful events such as our cheese and wine, ironstone film and photos, Edgehill battlefield walk, Flora Thompson walk, Roman evening and a very successful trip to the Imperial War Museum.
We have also completed a Hornton Year Book, this was a continuation of books put together by the W.I. back in 1965 and 1985. Unfortunately we missed the 20 year gap but completed our book in 2008.
We welcome new members so why not join us at our next meeting....

The groups next weekend exhibition, August Bank Holiday weekend 2017, is gathering pace. Lots of good information and memorabilia are being collected by the team from people in Hornton and family and friends far and wide.
The exhibition will be based around the trades, professions and industries of Hornton and the surrounding area.
Do you have a family story to tell, old photos or documents, please let us know. We would love to hear from you, please call or email.
