“Elton Hall is nestled in the beautiful countryside on the Cambridgeshire/Northamptonshire border. It stands proud in unspoilt landscaped parkland where a house has stood since the 12th century…Alexandra Proby and her family continue to maintain and preserve the house and welcome visitors to the Hall. There is something for everyone to see…” Like so many other palatial houses built by once inordinately wealthy families, Elton has had to diversify. Events – check. Weddings – check. Lettings – check. Which leaves, of course, killing the local birdlife…Check. Under ‘Sporting’ we find “Elton Hall has a long and enviable sporting history and a large area of the estate is designed to provide quality game shooting…Let days are a mixture of partridges and pheasants from October to January….excellent day’s sport in beautiful countryside…Lunch and tea are provided in the Billiard Room…” etc etc. Non-shooters query whether as many as 40 million pheasants really are being reared and released every year for ‘sportsmen’ to use as live targets. Check out the endless list of shooting venues and wonder no more…
