Rufford hounds, Thoresby Park, and Earl Manvers

Photographs of the Rufford hounds, with huntsmen, in front of Thoresby Park, and Earl Manvers on horseback, Master of the Rufford Hunt. From a series of articles, Famous Hunts at home'. The article, written and illustrated by Leonard Willoughby, begins with the description, This season the Rufford are, indeed, fortunate in again having at the head of affairs Earl Manvers, the owner of Thoresby Park and a considerable amount of land over which hounds now hunt. Though the hunt lays in the centre of the "Dukeries"- of which Thoresby is one of the great houses- still, the Dukes of Portland and Newcastle do not hunt, nor does Lord Savile, though they are all supporters of the hunt. Charles William Sydney Pierrepont, 4th Earl Manvers (1854"1926)
