Kecords of the Old Charlton Hunt 



To those who are famihar with the aspect of Charlton at 

 the present day, the following details will be interesting. 



It is indeed hard to imagine that accommodation had to 

 be provided for no less than 143 hunters, with their attendant 

 crowd of grooms and helpers, for out of all this long list of 

 Quarters which existed in 1747 there remain but two which 

 can be located with any degree of certainty — the Fox Inn 

 and the hunting-box of the Duke. 



John Budd, the composer of the * Sussex Garland ' of 

 sporting songs, appears to have figured prominently in the 

 provision of board and lodging for man and beast, but of his 

 hospitable roof no trace remains.
