The Old Berkeley Beagles, or The OBB, is a beagle pack.

History

In 1919 a pack of beagles was founded by a Major H. Elleshaw, known as the RAF Uxbridge Beagles because they were housed on RAF Uxbridge.[1]

In 1923 the pack was sold to a Mr R. Wigram of Penn and in 1926 became a subscription pack at which time it was named the Old Berkeley Beagles, the name chosen as the pack was hunted over the same country around Aylesbury as the Old Berkeley (fox hunting) Hunt.[1][2]

The pack’s hounds are kennelled near Aylesbury.[1]

Hunt country

The country hunted is in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.[3]
