Bicentennial 200 Year Celebration, Lower Moors Farm, Garway
The exact date our hunt was formed is lost in antiquity, but what is certain is The Ross Harriers existed two hundred years ago because William Cobbet recorded them along with a multitude of other items of interest in his book Rural Rides in 1821.
