History

The Airedale Beagles was formed after the chance meeting of Tom Clarke and Dawson Jowett on Ilkley moor in 1891. Tom became the kennelman and Dawson the huntsman. The Hunt had links to the Bradford harriers that had disbanded just a couple of years before and the lomg tradition of beagling in the Jowett family.
