Hunting we will go. Aug 12th 1955.

But not for Mr William Humphries and his golden eagle LADY BEN NEVIS the panoply of pink, of hounds, and horses when they go hunting the fox. Lady Ben Nevis, weighing sixty pounds and with a wing span of seven feet, has already killed more than sixty foxes. Mr. Humbphreys, of Lydbury North, Shropshire, is a descendant fo the Chief Falconer ot William the Conqueror.

With many thanks to BFC and Tony James.

About Us

The FHT aims to establish a portal for the world's falconers and other interested parties to access aspects of the sport's rich heritage by linking existing physical archives, including international private and public collections, through the medium of an electronic archive. This archive features falconry furniture, works of art, books, correspondence from leading falconers and film and photographic material for the education and interest of falconer and scholar alike. We hope that, whatever your background or interest in our sport, you may find something of value through our archive to deepen your knowledge, understanding and passion for falconry and will help us, through your support, to preserve this precious cultural heritage for future generations.
