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....

History Group Churchyard Survey

The history group survey is nearly completed! With the majority of the work documented I can finally show the results of our hard work.
The whole group spent many hours on hands and knees trying to decipher the fading text on many grave stones. It then spent many months waiting to be uploaded onto a computer and into a searchable document. So thanks to Steve Woodcock it's ready to see the light of day. We still have a few inscriptions and photos to sort but if you're interested why not have a look!
