Godfrey Deacon was joint-master with Matt Roche from 1978 to 1983, sole master from 1984 to 1990 and joint-master with Jay Bowe from 1991 to 2005.
Photographs of Godfrey, both mounted and on foot, were reproduced in a recently-published 32-page souvenir booklet celebrating 125 years of the Bree Hunt. There are photographs of all the other masters and joint-masters of the Co Wexford pack from its founding in 1888 by Tyrone-born John B O’Neill to the present day when Jay Bowe and Philip Murphy share the role.
