Christ Church and Farley Hill Beagles
The Hunt was formed in 1971 by the amalgamation of the Christ Church and New College Beagles and the Farley Hill Beagles. The Christ Church pack was founded in 1874, following an earlier establishment alternating between beagles and harriers, dating from 1852. The New College Beagles was founded in 1896, and subsequently variously partnered with the Magdalen, Trinity and Balliol Beagles. The two University packs joined in 1950. The Farley Hill Beagles were started in 1919 by G P and V P Simmons, with hounds from the Downton Hall and the Trowbridge. Further drafts came from the Eton and from Major Birbeck, and notably in 1940 from the Christ Church.
