History of the Hunt

Start Year:	0
End Year:	N/A
History:	The Pytchley is believed to be directly descended from the Royal Hunt maintained by the Plantaganets in Rockingham Forest and its history is well chronicled from the mid 17th century. Originally called the Althorp and Pytchley Hunt, with kennels at Althorp, its history is intertwined with that of the Earls Spencer. One of its most famous masters was the "Red Earl", the 5th Earl. Until the division of the country in the late 19th century, hounds, horses and Hunt servants travelled weekly by train from Althorp to Brigstock, to hunt what is now the Woodland Pytchley country. The Padua red livery worn by the Masters and Hunt servants, although worn by servants in the 18th century, was re-introduced by Lord Annaly in 1902, being the colour of a bolt of cloth at Lowther Castle. The white collar, originally worn to protect the coat from the powdered wig, and now awarded by the Masters, is still highly prized.

Hunt Country

Hunt Country:

The country, which lies in Northamptonshire and Leicestershire, extends some 20 miles north to south and 25 miles east to west. It is stiffly fenced country, the natural fences being largely thorn hedges with a ditch to one side, and the made fences of solid timber. There is still plenty of grassland spread throughout. A bold blood horse will cross the country best. Best centres: Market Harborough, Holcot, Everdon and in the centre Guilsborough. Adjoining Hunts: to the west the Warwickshire; to the north the Fernie; to the north east and east the Woodland Pytchley; to the south east the Oakley; to the south the Grafton; and to the south west the Bicester with Whaddon Chase
