  • Agricultural Change and the Development of Foxhunting in the Eighteenth Century*
    Agricultural change and the development of foxhunting in the eighteenth century* by Jane Bevan Abstract This article explores the development of ‘modern’ foxhunting in the eighteenth century, focussing partic- ularly 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. For the last 45 years, historians of both the landscape and foxhunting have attributed the rise of foxhunting as a fashionable sport in the eighteenth century to the shift from arable to grassland following enclosure by parliamentary statute. Bovill was the first to note the link, writing in 1962, ‘but for enclosure foxhunting would never have become a popular sport’. This view was echoed by Patten in 1971 and repeated by Longrigg and Carr in their respective histories of English foxhunting published in consecutive years in the mid-1970s. Longrigg commented on the ‘1,539 private enclosure acts … [resulting in] the improvement of the countryside for foxhunting … [with] large well fenced fields of permanent grass’. Hugo Meynell (1735–1808), hunting in Leicestershire, is generally recognized as the ‘father of modern foxhunting’ and Itzkovitz connected Meynell’s improved hound breeding explicitly to the post-enclosure change in land use: ‘The new speed of Meynell’s hounds was perfectly suited to the large expanses of grass which made Leicestershire … the best hunting-ground in England’.
