History of the Hunt

Start Year:	1874
End Year:	N/A
History:	Hounds were kept at Croome from 1600 to 1719 and again from 1738 till 1843, when they were given up during the minority of the 9th Earl of Coventry. Lord Coventry PC (9th Earl), founded the Hunt (known by his name till 1882) in the year 1874. It has existed in its present form since he took over the country. In 1899 the Hon H T Coventry and G D Smith purchased the hounds from Mr Wrangham. The pack was purchased by successive Masters and was their private property until 1926, when the country subscribed a sufficient sum of money to acquire a new pack. The West Warwickshire Farmers Hunt joined with the Croome Hunt to hunt the Croome country and the country loaned from the Warwickshire and North Warwickshire in season 1973-74.
