HISTORY

The Tara Harriers were founded by Lord Tara and were then known as the Bellinter Harriers about 1760. When John Preston, the last of the male Tara family bloodline, died about 1870, he left the pack to GV Briscoe, great grandfather of one of the present masters Lorraine McDowell. He requested that the name be changed and so the Tara Harriers were formed.
