History of the Hunt

Start Year:	1827
End Year:	N/A
History:	Arguably the heyday of the Dartmoor Hunt was the Mastership of Commander C.H. Davey, R.N., O.B.E. from 1919 to 1939. A wealthy bachelor, he re-rebuilt the Hunt to its pre WW I status. He increased the area hunted with the Merrivale country, on loan from the Lamerton; and he ran the hunt on a lavish scale, providing sport to large Fields. His stalwart kennel-huntsman for the time was Sidney Piper Sadly this was all to end when his ship HMS Campeador hit a mine on 22nd June 1940, and he was killed. For the remainder of the war a much reduced establishment continued their fox-control role for the farmers under the acting-mastership of Mr Henn-Genys for the committee. The job of setting-up again after WW II fell on the shoulders of Mrs. Mary Douglas-Pennant, from the well-known Williams family of Four Barrow FH in Cornwall, with Hon Mrs Peek initially as Joint Master. From 1949 Mary D-P continued alone, hunting hounds herself with Arthur Piper [Sidney’s son] as whipper-in. He tragically died as a result of a fall out hunting, and was replaced by Charlie Pengelly, who had previously served under Commander Davey. In 1955 Captain Michael Howard M.C. and Mr John Dix took on the Joint Mastership, each hunting hounds two days a week. Mr Dix resigned in 1958, and Major Howard was joined by Capt Bill Peek, Mr Murray Smith and Lt Col W.G. Clarke. Maj Howard was steeped in Dartmoor hunting history, being the grand-son of William Coryton, and the great-grandson of Admiral Parker. This mastership ended in 1961, when Mr Murray-Smith continued for two years with Danny O’Sullivan as huntsman.

Hunt Country

Hunt Country:

The country comprises the whole of the area of South Devon bounded by the Rivers Dart and Tamar, and the sea. There are few jumps save some tiger traps. There is some "in country" hunting, but mostly hunting is on the Moor which has some good going, some bogs, and parts scattered with granite boulders. Best centres: Ivybridge and Princetown.
