Transcription

Early life and education

John Durell Hunt ('Jack') was born in Watford, Herefordshire, England to John Hunt (c.1870–1929), architect, and Effie Jane Hunt (née Sherry). The eldest of five children, John attended King's College School, Cambridge and served two years of military service between 1918 and 1920 before training to become a doctor at St Bartholomew's Hospital.[1]

Career

He encouraged Lord Gort to restore Bunratty Castle. He is commemorated by a bust in the castle because of this. He also led to the creation of both the Craggaunowen and Lough Gur visitor centres through his interest in prehistory.[3] The Hunts first settled at Lough Gur, near Limerick, and later in Dublin. In both these domestic settings, they housed and openly displayed their valuable collection.

Personal life

John married Gertrude Hunt (née Hartmann) in London in 1933. They adopted two children, John Hunt, junior and Trudy Hunt, who were later trustees of the Hunt Museums Trust and directors of the Hunt Museum.
