Tom Firr

TOM FIRR’S lengthy tenure at the Quorn (1872-1899) made him one of the most famous huntsmen ever to have lived, in an era when great hunts were written up in the newspapers and the sport’s practitioners were icons.

“HE was very quick, but never in a hurry, very quiet, yet had a beautiful voice. “Although he may have started with one or two couples only, every hound would be there before they were out of the first field.”
