Comment by CAW Troyte: 'A most unfortunate season, my illness prevented me from looking after the shooting either partridge or coverts and Scutt was worse than useless, also the little shooting that was done while I was abroad was invariably met by bad weather and from what I hear the bad weather met worse shots'.

Comment by CAW Troyte: 'We turned down no hand reared pheasants to save expense and I and the boys did the shooting for the house. Scutt hardly killed a thing, but for my sickly state of health I never enjoyed a season more'. Scutt may have had an assistant as 'Keepers' is mentioned in 1894. The second Keeper may have been called Ayres.

Comment by Gilbert Troyte. 'There was a very small stock left after the war but luckily it was a very good breeding season. There were not many partridges but the coveys there were were all big. They were difficult to get at as there was very little cover. There is a good stock left for next year'.

Comment by Gilbert Troyte. 'A bad season for partridge and wild pheasants with us in spite of the fact that the weather appeared favourable. Might have shot a lot more pheasants if we had been lucky and if I had had more time. Have not seen so many pigeons in since the War but it was a bad season for woodcock and snipe, probably owing to very rough weather in November. Reared about 300 pheasants'.

Comment by Gilbert Troyte: 'Turned down about 750. Practically all wild birds were killed by a tremendous thunder and hail storm in May. This was followed by continuous wet and cold weather for the whole summer. A good number of partridges on the Barton and at Cowlings still but the rest of the property mostly bare. W. has left a good stock of both pheasants and partridges. Very few woodcock in but more Golden Plover than I have ever seen. Rabbits nearly all died. I do not think a Blackcock has ever been shot here before. Turned down about 100 duck. They flew very well'.

Comment by Gilbert Troyte: 'Turned down almost 900. Farm birds did very well but there were hardly any wild birds. Partridges did well on the whole. The worst year for woodcock and snipe I ever knew. Turned down about 140 duck. A big st... up but pheasants and partridges left for next year'.

Comment by Gilbert Troyte: 'Farm birds and partridges did very well, but wild birds were a little disappointing. Put about 950 birds into the coverts and reared about 140 duck. A wonderfully dry summer and practically no rain during the shooting season which may account for the scarcity of woodcock and snipe. Our little syndicate worked very well'.

Comment by Gilbert Troyte: 'A wonderful season for all game and we were very lucky with the weather for the shoots. A bit stock of both partridges and pheasants left for next season. ... ... ducks were a great disappointment as they all flew straight away as soon as disturbed. We reared as many as we did last year. They had been driven about by others and I think this caused their wildness'.

Comment by Gilbert Troyte: 'Tame pheasants did well, wild birds poor, practically no partridges partly owing to weather and partly to disease. Put 1000 pheasants into coverts so we ought to have killed more, but I suppose shootings of game(?) made them strong. A good stock left'.

Comment by Gilbert Troyte: 'The worst breeding season I have ever known and this combined with a lot of vermin and some poaching resulted in practically no partridges and very few pheasants.
