EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the opening meet of the Neauddfawr Foxhounds in South Wales in 1909. At the helm of this historic hunting pack is Mrs Hughes, an extraordinary figure who defied the norms of her time as both the Master of Foxhounds (MFH) and the churchwarden of Llanwnen Church. The image showcases the proud and determined look on Mrs Hughes' face as she leads her pack of hounds and riders through the picturesque Welsh countryside. Dressed in traditional hunting attire, she sits confidently atop her horse, her whip held high in the air, signaling the start of the hunt. The pack of Neauddfawr Foxhounds, known for their distinctive red coats and white blazes, follow closely behind, their keen noses focused on the trail of the elusive fox. The riders, all dressed in hunting jodhpurs and tweed jackets, maintain a steady pace, their faces a mix of excitement and concentration. The rolling hills of South Wales provide a stunning backdrop to this Edwardian scene, with the vibrant colors of the hounds and riders contrasting beautifully against the lush green landscape. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history of fox hunting in Wales and the remarkable women who defied societal expectations to play a significant role in this traditional sport. Mrs Hughes' dual roles as MFH and churchwarden serve as a reminder of the strength and determination of women in history, who broke through barriers to pursue their passions and make their mark on their communities.
