About Us
In 2005 Leicestershire County Council's Heritage Services was awarded a major grant of £50,000 by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Foxhunting: Past, Present, Future? ran for one year from October 2005. The aim was to impartially record the impact of the Hunting Act (2004) from all points of view and discover other fox hunting collections.
Building upon the displays at Melton Carnegie Museum, information from this project has created an oral history archive, educational resources, highlights of relevant collections and this website.
The project represents the development of work that is being continued by Melton Carnegie Museum.
