The recorded history of the Cotley goes back to the late eighteenth century when the first recorded Master was T. Dean (1797-1855). T.P. Eames follwed as Master and the pack is still owned by the family.
The pack is recognised by the Association of Masters of Harrers and Beagles and the Master of Foxhounds Association (from 1948). They hunt a country of mainly grass with wired banks centred at the point where Devon, Somerset and Dorset meet.
