The Daily Mail, Feb. 24th, quoted by the Devizes Gazette, March 2nd, 
1899, in an article headed “A Great Hunting Parson, who was also an 
excellent Shot and ardent Angler,” says:—‘‘Since the death,of the Rev. 
‘Jack’ Russell of Devonshire he has been regarded as the greatest of hunting 
parsons, and there can be no doubt that he has deserved his reputation.” 
The Andover Advertiser, quoted by Devizes Gazette, March 2nd, says :— 
“His many fine qualities of head and heart enabled him to easily win his 
way to the esteem of his parishioners, and the more they knew him the 
deeper that feeling grew, till we can unhesitatingly say that if ever a Rector 
was loved in his parish it was the Rev. W. H. Awdry.” 
Horse and Hound, Feb. 25th, 1899, a paper in which he often recorded 
sport in the Tedworth country under the signature “ A.H.W.” says of him: 
“A most consistent Churchman, a true friend, a kindly and genial host, and 
a thorough all round sportsman. . . . He was captain of Winchester 
College Eleven in 1853, captain of football, an adept in the ‘noble art of 
self-defence,’ and a capital runner. . . . The present actual existence 
of a well-known pack of otter hounds is largely due to his tact and influence. 
He himself, some years ago, kept a private pack of dwarf beagles, with 
which he showed good sport for eight seasons.”’
