The Wolds Historical Organisation (WHO) was founded in 1987 to promote interest in the local history of the villages on the western side of the Leicestershire Wolds, specifically Wymeswold, Burton on the Wolds, Hoton, Prestwold and Cotes. In recent years the WHO 'adopted' the villages of Willoughby on the Wolds and Walton on the Wolds too.
