Synopsis
Excerpt from England's Oldest Hunt: Being Chapters of the History of the Bilsdale, Farndale and Sinnington Hunts, Collected During Several Years
Yorkshire lays claim to have been the birthplace Of the first recognised pack of foxhounds and to the first pack of harriers. With the latter - the Penistone pack-we are not concerned in writing the history of England's Oldest Hunt, but rather with the Bilsdale, Farndale, and Sinning ton countries in the North Riding, where the first hounds were kept solely for the purpose of hunting Reynard, the fox. To review the history of any pack of hounds of standing essentially takes us back to people and manners, to customs, strange beliefs, and occurrences of long ago. We are lead into many side issues, all of intense interest and all having a direct bearing upon the main subject.
