History of the Hunt

Start Year:	1764
End Year:	N/A
History:	The Middleton Hunt dates from the year 1764, from which year till 1773 the country, or part of it, was hunted by Sir Thomas Gascoigne. In 1815 country was given up to enable the Holderness Hunt to be established. In 1812 Mr Corbet sold his pack to Lord Middleton, who at different times gave portions of it to Sir Tatton Sykes, who in 1853 re-sold his hounds to Lord Middleton, who moved the kennels from Eddlethorpe to Birdsall. The 8th Lord Middleton, from 1853 till 1860, hunted the country at his own cost. In 1860 he accepted a subscription. At a later date country was lent to the York & Ainsty. When the 9th Lord Middleton retired from the Mastership at the end of the 1920-21 season, the east country began to be hunted separately: the first season, 1921-22, by one of the two Joint Masters, Col N Borwick, and then, until 1927, by the other Joint Master, Lord Grimthorpe.
