STROUD Evening WI learnt about historic clothing from Petersfield Museum curator Dr Kathrin Pieren at their February meeting.

Members heard that among the museum’s older pieces are dresses from the 1720s and a silk waistcoat from the 1770s. The WI meets at 7.30pm in Steep village hall on the second Tuesday of the month, and in March they will learn about The Life of a Registrar. New members and guests welcome.
