The Women’s Institute (WI) was originally founded in 1897 in Canada and started in the UK in 1915. Hordle WI was formed in May 1919 and the hall built in 1923

The WI helped on the home front during the 1st World War and one of our most successful campaigns was “Keep Britain Tidy”.

We recently discovered this interesting old photograph from 1933, do you recognise anyone?
