Hornton & District W.I. – next meeting on 3rd July
Hornton & District’s next meeting is on Thursday 3rd July at 7.30pm in the Methodist Chapel, Hornton.
For our next meeting, we are delighted to welcome Hornton’s very own Roger Corke to our W.I. to talk about his writing life. Although a veteran TV documentary maker, Roger is now a published author, too, with his debut crime thriller , Deadly Protocol, recently being published. It’s about the murder of a scientist who is researching the Holy Grail of medicine – a cure for cancer. Members will be able to hear all about the crime writing process, how to get a book published and most importantly, where Roger gets his inspiration from. Due to Roger’s popularity, non-members will be welcome to attend for a small donation to the W.I.
Hornton & District W.I.
The next meeting of Hornton & District Women’s Institute will take place on Thursday 5th June where we will be visiting Rousham Gardens Rousham | House & Gardens at the earlier time of 6pm.
Rousham House & Gardens, B4260 Oxford Road, Just beyond Hopscroft Holt OX25 4QU What3Words: ///depending.line.grit
Rousham is 18 miles away and will take about 40 minutes by car so lift sharing is recommended. We could leave the Green at Hornton at 5.15pm.
Rousham is completely unspoilt and uncommercialised – no tea room and no shop – just glorious gardens to explore at your leisure. Bring a picnic and comfortable shoes and it is yours for the evening. Don’t miss the walled garden with its herbaceous borders, small parterre, pigeon house and espaliers. One of England’s most important gardens, Rousham represents the first phase of English landscape design and remains almost as its designer William Kent left it. Many of the features that delighted its 18th century visitors are still there for 21st century visitors to enjoy. A favourite of many great garden designers, Monty Don says “Kent is the great genius of eighteenth-century garden design and Rousham is his masterpiece, one of the greatest gardens in the world!”
Please feel free to bring friends, neighbours, husbands or partners. Note: No Dogs and No Children under 15.
Entry to the garden will be free to Hornton & District WI members and will cost £10 for non-members.

Hornton & District W.I.
The W.I meet again on Thursday 3rd April, 7.30pm in the Methodist Chapel, Hornton. Hornton’s very own Jane Wain and Sally Spencer will be the speakers – talking all things “Green and Clean”.
Clean & Green is the mantra of Nancy Birtwhistle (winner of the Great British Bake-Off): who’s Instagram account shows how she deals with a wide range of cleaning situations around the home. Jane and Sally will explain how to make your own non-toxic and plastic-free cleaning products. Their methods are cheaper, easier and greener than standard commercial cleaning products, and solve household problems ranging from removing rust marks and mould, making your own laundry detergent, getting sticky labels off jars, the best way to clean an oven and any number of tips for removing stains from clothes. Interested? Then come along to the chapel and find out how to transform your cleaning routine. You don’t need to be a signed-up WI member and you don’t need to live in Hornton! Horley residents will be very welcome.
