... The traditional Boxing Day meet of the V.W.H. (Earl Bathurst's Hounds) took place at Cirencester Park. A woodland day had been arranged and, so that as many people who wanted to could follow the hunt, the rule banning cars and cycles from the park was relaxed for the day by Lady Apsley's desire. Lady Apsley herself set an example by following hounds in an open car. Earl Bathurst and his ...
