Summary
| Description |
English: Stalls in stables built by Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 9th Baronet (1752–1794) at Holnicote, Selworthy, Somerset. The thirty stag heads on the walls date from about 1787 to 1793 and were killed under his mastership of the Devon and Somerset Staghounds. Notoriously some of the brow points of the antlers were sawn-off by a groom because they interfered with the loading of hay into the mangers.(Acland, Anne, 1981, p.27). A similar collection of stagheads amassed by his father the 7th Baronet, and much beloved by him, was destroyed during a fire at Holnicote in 1779. (Acland, Anne. A Devon Family: The Story of the Aclands. London and Chichester: Phillimore, 1981, pp.25, 27) Now property of the National Trust |
