Oil Painting of An admirable oil painting was executed in 1864 

 showing the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. North and the hounds 

 and hunting staff in front of Wroxton Abbey, 

 on the steps of which appear the late Baroness 

 North and the Right Hon. Col. J. S. North. The 

 picture has found a place on the walls of the 

 Abbey, whose noble proprietor, still a regular 

 attendant at the meets of the pack, and one of 

 their most ardent followers, can, on the canvass of 

 the picture, be brought face to face again with the 

 " Warwickshire beauties," who not only sustained 

 but added to the reputation of the pack, at the time he 

 rode as master. The Hon. Mr. North is seen mounted 

 on Queen Mab and the Hon . Mrs. North, scarcely less 



the hounds.
