EDITORS COMMENTS
Manton Gorse: A Scene from the Cottesmore Hunt Area, Near Oakham, Leicestershire, 1936 This evocative photograph captures the essence of the English countryside and the tradition of foxhunting in the early 20th century. Taken in the picturesque village of Manton in the Cottesmore Hunt area of Leicestershire, near Oakham, the image showcases the beauty and tranquility of the rural landscape. The focus of the photograph is Manton Gorse, a covert or wooded area, where foxes were known to reside. The gorse bushes, with their golden yellow flowers, provide a striking contrast against the dark, dense foliage of the trees. In the foreground, a hedgerow, typical of the English countryside, frames the scene, while the trees in the background add depth and texture. The photograph also captures the excitement and anticipation of the hunt. Several riders, dressed in their traditional hunting attire, are seen gathered at the edge of the gorse, their horses tethered to nearby trees. The red and white hoops of the fox's trail are visible in the foreground, indicating the recent passing of the hounds. The photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the countryside and its traditions held a strong allure for the British people. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of foxhunting in the East Midlands and the wider Midlands region of England. The image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in British history, rural scenes, and the traditions of the English countryside.
