ONE of the smallest and oldest hunts in the country has lost one of its joint masters.
Hilary Mintoft stepped down at the Farndale Hunt's annual meeting held at The Feversham Arms, Church House, Farndale, on the North York Moors, after three years, because of family commitments.
The remaining joint master, George Atkinson, who has been leading the hunt for 11 years, becomes acting master.
The Farndale, which dates back to 1835, hunts a wide area of the moors, including Farndale, Bransdale, Rosedale, Hartoft forest and part of Kildale.
