| History: |
The country was hunted from the early 1700s and first officially registered in 1736, when its headquarters were at the Black Lion Hotel in Cardigan. Permission to use the Prince of Wales feathers as an emblem was granted by one of the Hanoverian princes in the 18th century, following a magnificent day's hunting. The Hunt ran continuously from 1815 to 1926, when there was a break, and was re-started in 1937 as the Tivyside Farmers', but hounds had again to be disposed of in 1950. A fresh start was made in 1954. |
