COAT OF ARMS OF SIR GEORGE BULLOUGH
THREE-FOLD SCREEN
When photographed in 1998 the Screen was located in the Visitor's Sitting Room,
formerly Lady Bullough's Bedroom. The Screen has been moved many times over the years.
Lady Bullough (c.1910).
Sir George and Lady Bullough owned almost two hundred thoroughbred steeplechasers, flat racers and hunters in their lifetime. Shortly after the acquisition of Longholes Stud in 1925
Sir George commenced a breeding programme for himself, whilst, in 1929,
advertising Longholes services with Golden Myth.
Another stallion to initially stand at Longholes was home bred Ethnarch
out of Sir George's filly, Karenza,
by 1919 leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland, The Tetrarch
