Hunting took place in Sherington for many years. Photographs in the gallery below show the hunt, the first being in 1905 outside the Crown and Castle.
The North Bucks Beagles were bred for hunting hares, and men chased the beagles on foot through Sherington in the 1930s (information provided by Philip Smith).
The following paragraph has been taken from the Great Linford History website.
A brief line carried in the Buckingham Advertiser and Free Press of July 29th, 1933, tells us that moves were afoot to establish a new pack named the North Bucks Beagles at Chicheley (about 5 miles from Great Linford), so one must presume that the earlier hunt of the same name had become defunct sometime in the intervening years. It appears however that efforts at Chicheley stalled, but in October of 1935 it was reported in the Northampton Mercury of the 18th that the hounds had, “been placed on an established footing” with the setting up of kennels at Sherington. The master of the hunt at this time appears to have been Major General Bertram Fitzherbert Widdrington.
