The Essex & Suffolk Hunt
The Essex & Suffolk Hunt is reputed to have been started by Sir William Rowley in 1791 with a pack of hounds purchased from the Duke of York.
The pack was kept in kennels at Tendring Park, Stoke by Nayland. In the mid 19th Century the kennels were moved to Stratford St Mary by Captain White. During the second World War the kennels moved to their present location at Layham but it was not until after the War that it was decided that the Essex and Suffolk sides should join up and the country has been hunted as a whole ever since.
The Essex & Suffolk foxhounds hunt within the law as defined under The Hunting Act 2004 and with the consent and support of the farmers and landowners over whose land we hunt.
