In this photograph captured by TopFoto. co. uk, we are transported back to the elegant world of fox hunting in the 1940s. The image showcases a significant moment at the meet of the East Sussex Foxhounds, held at Court Lodge Farm in Crowhurst, Sussex. Lord Burghley, the esteemed Master of Hounds, stands tall and distinguished as he graciously accepts a stirrup cup from Mr T W Croft. This traditional gesture symbolizes camaraderie and good luck before embarking on an exhilarating hunt. Lady Burghley and Little Ann Croft observe with admiration as this timeless ritual unfolds. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of an era when such gatherings were not only about sport but also about fostering social connections among like-minded individuals.
