The Hunting Disaster in Yorkshire: the funeral of Sir Charles Slingsby at Knaresborough, 1869. Slingsby, master of fox hunting, was drowned with five others and eight horses after thirteen men, with eleven horses, crowded into a vessel intended to accommodate only half that number...[View of] the hearse, ten mourning coaches, and thirty-five private carriages...[arriving at the] parish church. There were many gentlemen present from York, Leeds, Knaresborough, Harrogate, Ripon, Boroughbridge, the neighbouring villages, and more distant parts of the country. Every hunt in Yorkshire, and one in the county of Durham, was represented by a master of hounds or some other gentleman. The Knaresborough Town Commissioners, the tradesmen of the town, and the tenantry of Sir Charles Slingsby, to the number of one thousand, headed the procession...the body of the deceased Baronet was interred in the Slingsby chapel, where lie the remains of a long fine of his ancestors and other relatives...The deceased, who was unmarried, was the tenth Baronet'.
