Reminds me of Quorn Hall in Tassy John..a mate filmed all the trophy rooms there and showed me the vids and boy the old hunter had an enormous amount of heads too.
Dated mounts of course due to the basic t/dermy of the day but an historical record of a hunter from the early days.

Obituary here as an interest.
