Farewell to hunting enthusiast Jules Hopkins

Jules Hopkins, a former joint-master of the Croome and West Warwickshire hunt, died on 2 September. She was 57 and had cancer.

Mrs Hopkins, who served the hunt in a range of roles, was joint-master from 1989-93, a position held by both her parents.

Her daughter Char, 18, said her mother was “mad keen” on hunting. “Four weeks after I was born, she was back at the opening meet,” she said.

Mrs Hopkins’s funeral is at 2.30pm on Friday 16 September at Pershore Abbey.

All are welcome.
