Specialist note

Thomas Boothby is best known as the founder of the Quorn Hunt, which traces its origin to his pack of hounds established in 1696 on the death of his father. He was the Master of the pack for fifty-five years, the longest serving of any of the Masters the hunt has known, and on his death The Gentleman's Magazine wrote that he had been, 'one of the greatest sportsmen in England.'
