Close to the North York Moors national park. “The Wheatsheaf Inn is an authentic 17th Century Public House in the village of Borrowby, near Thirsk”. Yet another venue in North Yorkshire with bloodsport links, The Wheatsheaf has a long history of supporting the Hurworth Hunt (which is kenneled at West Rounton, 10 miles to the north). The current profile image on its Facebook page is a photo c)1984 of the pub and a member of the Thurlow (in February 2025 it was old print of the Hurworth gathered at the pub). More recently the British Hounds Sport Association (hunting’s so-called governing body) promoted the annual pissed-up ‘rural singsong’ at the pub as recorded in a rather halting, slurred reel on Facebook. Is anyone other than sozzled ‘old boys’ singing nostalgic ditties about killing wildlife welcome at the Wheatsheaf? We don’t know and won’t be popping our heads around the door to find out…
