"Mr Evan Hanbury (1854-1918) was master of the Cottesmore for the first seven years of the 20th century until he resigned in 1907.
He employed the entertaining, if sometimes controversial, huntsman Arthur Thatcher, whose skills attracted many visitors to the Cottesmore mounted fields.
Mr Hanbury, who lived at the Manor House, Braunston, was the great-grandfather of Mr Joss Hanbury, of Burley-on-the-Hill, who was to prove one of the most popular of modern Masters of the Cottesmore and the Quorn.
