EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the quintessential English village of Winkleigh, Devon during the 1960s, portrays the rich tradition of foxhunting in the West Country. The huntsman, dressed in his distinctive red jacket and riding boots, sits confidently atop his horse, his whip and crop at the ready. His hounds, a loyal and dedicated pack, eagerly await their master's command, their eyes fixed on the horizon. The setting of this scene is the local village school, its leaded windows framing the idyllic tableau. Children in their Sunday best, clad in blazers and ties, gather around the huntsman, their curiosity piqued by the spectacle before them. A teacher, standing at the door, observes the scene with a mixture of amusement and tolerance, a testament to the intertwining of rural life and education in this close-knit community. This photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into a bygone era when the rhythms of country life were more in sync with the changing seasons. The huntsman and hounds of Winkleigh serve as a reminder of the deep-rooted history and traditions that continue to shape the character of rural England.
