The Oxenholme Hounds is a fascinating narrative of The Oxenholme
Stag Hounds. It introduces the reader to the participants of the
hunt and their adventures and misadventures as they hunted during a
six-month period during 1934-5 over large areas of Cumbria and
Lancashire. The hunt was comprised of members of some of the most
influential families who lived in Kendal and the surrounding area
at that time and this book offers insights into some colourful
characters and lively accounts of the meets they attended. The
Oxenholme Hounds, which is illustrated with photographs and
charming paintings, perfectly captures the atmosphere and the
camaraderie of a past generation as they indulged in what is now a
forbidden pastime, (although, contrary to popular belief, the hunt
rarely resulted in a kill). After a long history the hunt was
eventually dispersed at the start of World War II and was never
restarted. The Oxenhome Hounds, however, remains as an absorbing
and enchanting social record of a bygone era.
