The West Norfolk is the oldest hunt in the country and Vic Brown traces its sources back to Sir Thomas Le Strange in 1534. The foxhounds were split between different parts of the country but as time went by communications improved and Royalty moved into Sandringham, the Hunt became more unified and more fashionable. After five years research going through hunting diaries and collecting pictures and memorabilia, the author has created an incomparable standard of detail and comprehensiveness.

Although many runs are described it is also a social history of Norfolk and its landed estates which with over 300 colour and black and white illustrations, makes this a must have for all who love hunting and the county of Norfolk.
