HUNTING DAYS 



Fernie and Sir Charles Lowther and the third 

 Lord Annaly. were outstanding. The best com- 

 bination the Pytchley ever had were Annaly and 

 Frank Freeman. 



Having mentioned these names of famous 

 Masters I cannot conclude without recording that 

 in my opinion one of the best Fieldmasters is our 

 present Master of the Pytchley, Colonel Jack 

 Lowther. His quiet but commanding manner is 

 respected by all. 



I lost my dearest and best friend when Lady 

 Frederick died in 1948. She collapsed just when 

 her maid was putting her to bed. The doctor 

 came over here at once and took Miss Carter back 

 to be with Lady Frederick's maid. I felt her 

 death very much. I had known her for 60 years. 

 She and her brother bought all their horses from 

 me. There was hardly a week passed that she 

 did not pop over to see me or I went over to 

 Lamport. She was beloved by everyone.
