| Country |
Our Country falls across the County
Durham/North Yorkshire Borders, and is about 20 miles square.
Towards its Northern, Southern and Western extremities, a good deal
of grass still exists, divided by stone walls, rails and hedges.
The Tees Valley is the centre of the best of the Country, with good
"Jumping Meets" centred on Aldbrough St. John, Gainford and
Staindrop |
| History |
When the Old Raby Country was left
derelict on the death of the Duke of Cleveland, it was hunted by the
Hurworth one day a week until in 1866 C.Craddock Esq., took over the
Country for ten seasons. He was succeeded by the Marquess of Zetland,
(His successor is our Chairman), who built new Kennels at Aske Hall.
In 1911 Lord Zetland relinquished the Mastership The present kennels
were built at Aldborough St. John, by subscription of the Old Raby
Hunt Club.
H. Straker Esq., followed Lord Zetland as sole Master, later
followed by Lord Barnard, who held office up to the War years.
Today the Zetland Hunt still offers its followers the challenge of
crossing the Country while watching the hunting of the fox in its
natural habitat, by a pack of Foxhounds bred to that purpose for
many generations.
For those who do not care to ride, the motor car can also provide
the opportunity of following the Hounds and participating in this
uniquely English Sport.
