To Mr Red: I repeat that John Peel's coat was grey, made of Herdwick wool ... he was never one of the gentry. The Cumbrian fell packs hunted on foot over the fells (still do, but after aniseed trails these days) and are nothing like mounted hunts in the rest of England, not being made up of the aristos, gentry, monied classes etc.
Oh, and John Peel was not related to Sir Robert Peel.
