Still hunting, aged 80, and a Field Master

Hunting on Boxing Day

Mr John Jewell, of St Giles, has been hunting with the Stevenstone and the Torrington Farmers’ Hounds ever since he was a young man. Now aged eighty, he is a field Master of Torrington Farmers’ Hounds and is undoubtedly one of the oldest, if not the oldest, active hunting official in the country.
