10 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



Hunt Club, in the southern portion of the 

 Raby Country, at Boroughbridge, and it was 

 directed that the members of the club should 

 wear the uniform of the Hunt. 



In the same year a club was formed at 

 Beverley by the followers of Sir Mark Sykes's 

 and Mr. Watt's hounds (then Masters of the 

 Holderness). 



These Hunt Clubs seem to have been 

 popular institutions, for in 1816, hunting 

 people in the Bedale neighbourhood formed 

 one, and the following is a list of the 

 original members, with some quaint resolu- 

 tions which are instructive, as concerns 

 poultry damage, and the making of new 

 coverts.
