Hide AdMatthew said: “Our shoes say a great deal about us and the roles they play in our lives.
“They also have a unique connection with the wearer. In many cultures the shoe is taken to stand for its owner, embodying their personality.”
Attendees are advised to bring along their best or most sparkly or unusual shoes to show Matthew, who will hopefully share some knowledge about the wearer from their shoes.
The discussion will take place at the Hornton Methodist Chapel at 7.30pm. It will be free for Hornton History Group members and £5 entry for non-members.
