WILLIAM ROYLANCE COURT ESQ. OF THE MANOR

Mr. COURT, as his dress and mount indicate, was no less celebrated as a rider of steeplechases than with hounds. Indeed, at one part of his life he might almost be said to farm the then Tarporley Races. Being a light-weight, he always rode thorough-bred horses, mostly of his own breeding, and was more than a match for the others on hunters pure and simple. Still he was a genuine supporter of the Hunt, and had always foxes in his gorse and hospitality in his house.
