Black and white photograph of the Marriage of Diana Stuart Smith to Major George Evans (1 of 4)
Marriage of Diana Stuart Smith of Hall Place to Major George Evans, Joint Master of the Hampshire Hunt who lived at the big house near the hunt stables.
From newspaper reports:
Hampshire Telegraph 26 April 1929
Hundreds of people from all over the countryside attended the wedding of the Joint Master of the Hampshire Hunt, Mr George Patrick Elyston Evans and Miss Diana Bayard Stuart Smith.
The wedding coincided with the last meet of the season, and everyone, bride, bridegroom, and guests, was in hunting dress.
The service was timed for noon, but long before that hour the village was crowded and by the time the meet arrived 500 cars were parked in the field reserved by the motor scouts
After an informal reception the bride and bridegroom led the Hunt to draw the last cover of the season.
Hampshire Telegraph 07 March 1930
We regret to announce that the death took place on Monday last [3rd March] of Mrs Diana Bayard Evans, wife of Mr George Evans JP and Master of the Hampshire Hunt. Death followed a very brief illness, and it has called forth a great measure of sympathy and sorrow for the deceased lady’s husband and family relations.
