Nettlecombe Court, Williton, Somerset, England: A Glimpse into the Past of West Somerset Foxhounds in the 1910s This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Nettlecombe Court in Williton, Somerset, England. The image, which shows the West Somerset Foxhounds assembled on the estate, transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and tradition. Nettlecombe Court, a stunning Victorian mansion, has been the home of the West Somerset Foxhounds since the late 1800s. The hounds, an essential part of the estate's heritage, were renowned for their hunting prowess and the excitement they brought to the local community. The photograph captures the hounds, along with their handlers and huntsmen, gathered on the expansive grounds of Nettlecombe Court. The huntsmen, dressed in their traditional red jackets and black breeches, stand proudly with their hounds, while the handlers, dressed in tweed and leather, prepare the animals for the hunt. The West Somerset Foxhounds were an integral part of the local community, bringing people together for the thrill of the chase and the camaraderie of the hunt. The photograph serves as a reminder of the close connection between the estate, the hounds, and the people of Williton and the surrounding areas. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining the sounds of the hounds baying, the sight of the riders setting off on horseback, and the excitement of the hunt. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the land, the hounds, and the community were intricately connected.
