Agricultural History Review, Volume 58 Part 1 (2010), pp. 49–75

This article explores the development of ‘modern’ foxhunting in the eighteenth century, focussing particularly on the East Midlands and Suffolk. The relationship between landscape change and foxhunting is examined by looking in detail at the hunting careers of leading foxhunters and where they chose to hunt. Hunting diaries and enclosure records are used to challenge the received view that enclosure and the spread of grassland stimulated the new style of hunting.
