In 1842, after being (ninth) Master of the Quorn Hunt from 1827 to 1831, he took over the Mastership of the Grafton Hunt from George FitzRoy, 4th Duke of Grafton, his father's cousin, and remained its Master until 1862.
On his retirement from the Mastership of the Quorn Hunt he sold that pack to Sir Harry Goodricke, 7th Bt. For the Grafton he bought hounds from the brewery magnate Harvey Combe, who had purchased them from the renowned sportsman George Osbaldeston; in 1847 more hounds were bought from the impoverished 4th Earl of Shannon. Lord Southampton hunted the Grafton pack entirely at his own cost, without subscription from any members of the Hunt.
William Webb depicted him as Master of the Grafton Hunt about 1845.
Whittlebury was central to the Grafton Hunt. It was on the FitzRoy estate of the Duke of Grafton, one of whose seats was Wakefield Lodge, nearby.
