EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the lively atmosphere of a Foxhunt meeting in the quaint English village of Week St Mary, situated in the picturesque town of Bude, Cornwall. The Square, the central hub of the community, is bustling with activity as huntsmen and their horses gather for the upcoming hunt. The year is believed to be the 1920s, and the scene is one of tradition and camaraderie. The huntsmen, dressed in their distinctive red coats and tall black hats, engage in animated conversations, no doubt discussing the day's hunt and the trails that lie ahead. Horses, some saddled and others still being prepared, stand patiently nearby, their breath steaming in the crisp morning air. The village square, surrounded by quaint stone buildings and lush greenery, provides a charming backdrop to the scene. The sense of community is palpable as villagers and visitors alike gather to take part in this age-old tradition. The Foxhunt was an integral part of rural life in England, and the meeting in Week St Mary, Bude (Launceston), Cornwall, was no exception. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the rhythms of rural life were dictated by the changing seasons and the pursuits of the land. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the character of the English countryside.
