History of the Hunt

Start Year:	1886
End Year:	N/A
History:	The country, some 25 miles in length and 15 in breadth, lies entirely in Dorset. It is predominantly downland but a proportion of the Blackmore Vale is hunted on alternate Tuesdays until the end of January. Spring hunting takes place on an area of heathland and forestry in the south of the country until the middle of April. The country was originally part of that hunted by J J Farquharson from 1806-1858. On Mr Farquharson's resignation Mr Radc!yffe of Hyde House near Wareham bought a proportion of his hounds which he kennelled at his home and established the South Dorset Hunt. Elliott Lees brought the pack in 1886 and kennelled hounds at Sturminster Marshall and on retirement presented the hounds to the country. Mr Featherstonhaugh Frampton kennelled hounds at Moreton until 1894 when after a short period in temporary accommodation permanent kennels were established on the present site.
