Charles Lennox, the young 3rd Duke of Richmond had only been 15 years old when his father died in 1750.   It was to be seven long years passed until the famous Charlton hunting horn was blown again across the Findon Downs.  

I understand that William Green of Findon Place received his Findon inheritance in 1751 when his Uncle John died. He then stood in the shoes of John Cheale and became the Lord of Findon Manor — and became another hunting squire but not on such a grand scale.

In 1757 the third Duke of Richmond made a valiant bid to revive the tradition of Findon fox-hunting. It was to be of no avail over the years and the attempt failed as the back of the Charlton Hunt remained broken. The surviving hounds were eventually put down following the spread of a rabies epidemic in their kennels.

The fox-hunting history in Findon is a bit hazy and I can but glean that the Charlton Hounds only appear to have hunted the Old Findon Country in any serious way from 1715 to about the middle of the 1700s.   For some years from then on it was probably given over to varying packs of harriers.
