This Series provides insight into the sporting activities of a landed gentry family during the nineteenth and into the twentieth centuries. It features a game book of shoots, fox hunting journal and a fishing book providing details of one of Edmund Byron’s fishing visits to Norway. There is also some information on cricket in Coulsdon.
There is extensive documentation on the Old Surrey Fox Hounds, focusing on Edmund’s period as Master for 25 years up to his retirement from the role in 1902. But, with newspaper cuttings and other miscellaneous material, a picture of the hunt is provided covering much of the nineteenth century.
Additional information on the Byron’s sporting activities may be acquired from AR1057/1 – Personal Correspondence and AR1057/6/112 – Journal kept by Charlotte Emily and Edmund Byron, 1865-1875.
