Acquired from the above by the present owner. PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION Col. Hylton Jolliffe (1773-1843) was MP for Petersfield, Hampshire, from where the family originated. In 1802 he inherited Merstham House and Quarry Dean. Around 1807 Hylton Jolliffe and his younger brother Rev. William Jolliffe went into partnership with Edward Banks to exploit the building stone, chalk pits and limeworks on the Merstham estate; with the coming of the railways, Jolliffe & Banks became one of the largest engineering contractors in England. Around 1813, Dean Wolstenholme, Sen. made several paintings of the hounds owned by his friend Jolliffe, who hunted the country between Surrey Union and the Old Surrey. In the background of this painting is the thirteenth century church of St. Katherine, Merstham, built of grey-green Merstham stone, and the Merstham windmill. Built in 1756, the windmill was demolished in 1896 to make way for a railway line to the quarry. To the left is the chalk escarpment of Box Hill, immortalized in Jane Austen's Emma. Wolstenholme also painted The Merstham Hounds in 1813, with the Huntsman, Roffey, and a Whip, which was engraved, and A meet of the Merstham Hounds at Chipstead Green with Col. Hylton Jolliffe, which was engraved by Dean Wolstenholme, Jun. in 1824 as one of a set of four engravings after paintings by his father of Col. Jolliffe's Hounds that, along with the present work, descended in the collection of the Barons Hylton at Ammerdown Park, Somerset.
