History of the Hunt

Start Year: 1854
End Year: N/A
History: In 1943 the old North Durham Hunt was finally dissolved and the western portion of their country was incorporated into the Braes of Derwent country. In 1939 the eastern portion of the country was given up. Hunting days were reduced from four to two a week. Since the death of L Priestman in 1945, the Hunt has been a subscription pack. The country was originally hunted by a trencher-fed pack organized by Mr Humble of Eltringham; records of its existence date back to the middle of the 18th century. On the death of Mr Humble the pack became known as the Prudhoe, and about 1837 as the Prudhoe and Derwent. Some of the country was taken over by the new Slaley Hounds, which pack was broken up after a few years. The present Braes of Derwent Hunt dates from 1854, when the Slaley were given up, and the country as now constituted has existed since then.

Hunt Country

Hunt Country: The Saturday country lies in Northumberland and is grass and forestry with timber fences and walls; the Wednesday country lies in Co Durham and has a greater proportion of plough. Both sides have grand hills making it good viewing country.
