Welcome
Thanks for popping by and we hope you enjoy our new website, it's not completely finished yet and I'm adding new information regularly. So why not pour yourself a cuppa, cut a piece of cake and read on! Although, this being Hornton, it might be a glass of wine!!
We hope to shine a light on the historical past of our charming village and perhaps a few memories for you and your family.
Like researching your family history with the help of church yard survey, memories of past residents or old photos that take you down memory lane.
You can download our historical guide and actually walk down memory lane, and now open again, enjoy a drink at the Dun Cow.
So stay safe and we hope to bring you more fascinating talks. exhibitions and updates through the year.

Village Trail
New village history trail
While you’re taking a walk around the village, why not find out who lived in the houses, what they did and how they lived in years gone by. As well as the butcher, baker and candlestick maker, there were shoemakers, clockmakers, blacksmiths, steam engine drivers, wheelwrights, dressmakers, millers and many more. Just download and print out the trail and explore the village in a new way.
The group started back in 2007 and we consider ourselves a very informal group so please feel free to join us at any of our meetings or events. We discuss various topics of local history as well as organise trips, walks and talks with a variety of guest speakers.
Next meeting: Date to be confirmed
We welcome new members so why not join us at our next meeting.
