Berrydale - A Good Covert Used by the Pytchley Hunt, Northamptonshire, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the English countryside. The scene unfolds at Berrydale, a renowned covert in Northamptonshire, a favorite haunt for the Pytchley Hunt. The year is 1936, and the 1930s rural charm is palpable in this image. The photograph showcases a group of riders, their faces set with determination and excitement, as they prepare to pursue the fox across the expansive fields. The hounds, ears pricked and eyes focused, are poised at the edge of the covert, their bells jingling in anticipation. The landscape is dotted with tall trees, their branches reaching out to form a natural barrier, providing the perfect cover for the fox. A low fence, adorned with ivy, separates the hunters from the wild, untamed beauty of the countryside. The fields, bathed in the soft, golden light of the setting sun, stretch out towards the horizon, creating a breathtaking backdrop for the unfolding sporting scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of foxhunting in Britain, a pastime that has been an integral part of the rural way of life for centuries. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the thrill and excitement of a hunt in the picturesque English countryside. The Pytchley Hunt, founded in 1835, is one of the oldest and most respected hunts in the Midlands, and Berrydale remains a cherished and respected covert to this day. This photograph is not only a beautiful illustration of a moment in time but also a valuable historical record of a cherished sport and tradition.
