Recordings of Mark Hankinson, a director of the Master of Foxhounds Association, speaking to around 100 senior hunters in two private webinars in August 2020 were leaked online.

He added: "I am happy to declare my interest as chairman of the Council of Hunting Associations and chairman of the Master of Foxhounds Association which... are the only two organisations clearly which have any interest in the welfare of the animals concerned."

There are 186 packs recognised by the Master of Foxhounds Association across Britain.

He took no part in public affairs, but he was much esteemed for his amiable disposition, and deservedly popular in the county for the spirited manner in which he promoted field sports, and for his courteous bearing as a Master of Foxhounds. 

There was his brother, for instance,—Charlie Lytham, master of foxhounds and one of the most good-natured creatures to be found on earth,—hearty, honest, charitable, full of laughter, a superb horseman, everybody’s friend.
