A Portrait of Jorrocks Country
John Robson

96 pages, countless illustrations in colour and black and white.
An Extract from the Preface & Acknowledgements

This is not a history but a personal indulgence to write down nostalgic recollections or what I think I still remember, or what I think I was told that people did or said about the Hunt that has been my main obsession for well over 70 years out of its 84 years of existence Its existences before, as the Old Surrey and the Burstow Hunts, have more than adequately been covered by Humphrey Taylor in his book The Old Surrey Fox Hounds of 1900 and Uvedale Lambert in his Jorrocks Country of 1961. It attempts to take a chronological view, which frequently gets interrupted. But in setting this down, I hope it gives some flavour of the century in which most of us have lived, with change in all aspects and affairs accelerating out of control as it has turned, what I recall as a relatively wild hunt country, into virtual suburbia.
