THE HON. HENRY MO RE TON in 



These resolutions became of great import- 

 ance some twelve years later, as will be seen 

 further on. 



Mr. Moreton had now left for Cricklade ; 

 after one season there he went to Ciren- 

 cester, where kennels were built for him by 

 Earl Bathurst and lent to him gratis. Lord 

 Bathurst also subscribed £t,oo a year to the 

 new hunt. 



It is remarkable that the name "Vale of 

 White Horse " should have migrated with 

 the master to the new country, although the 

 " White Horse " himself necessarily remains 

 in the lofty position he has adorned since the 

 time of the great Alfred, and is in the Old 

 Berks country. The hunt now, however, 

 consists of practically the identical country 

 originally hunted by Mr. Loder eighty years 

 before, and which has been continually hunted 

 by the same hounds ever since ; and the name 

 Old Berkshire Hunt was used by Robert 

 Symonds as early as 1809 and is therefore 

 exceedingly appropriate. 



Hunting with Mr. Moreton before he left 

 Faringdon were Mr. T. M. Goodlake, who 

 had two good stallions, and his brother-in-law 

 Sir Edward Baker, Bart., Mr. Pryse Lewis, 

 Mr. Tom Morland of Sheepstead, Lord Folke- 

 stone, Mr. Lenthall of Besselsleigh, Mr. Thos. 

 Duffield, the two Aldworths of Frilford, &c.
