Hunt Country The country covers some 19 miles north to south and 22 miles east to west in the counties of Hertfordshire, Essex and Cambridgeshire. A bank and ditch, arable and grass country. Adjoining Hunts; to the north the Thurlow, to the east and south east the Essex and to the north and south the Cambridgeshire with Enfield Chace. 

Hunt History The Hunt dates back to 1725 when hounds were kept at Cheshunt and the country was also that of the Hertfordshire. The country, as now constituted, has existed since 1799. In 1970 the Puckeridge amalgamated with the Newmarket and Thurlow to form the Puckeridge & Thurlow; but in 1992 this union was dissolved and the re-established Puckeridge reverted to its old boundaries. The Mastership has been in the Barclay family continuously for over a hundred seasons. The breeding of all the hounds can be traced back to 1725 through the Stud Book.
