Lived in Barnstable where he was organist of the Parish church. His collection is in Leicester Museum. Ernest Lewis, who knew Hunt, has written to me about him as follows: ‘I think he lived in the Lake District in earlier years... In July 1961 I spent a day collecting with Hunt at Braunton Burrows, the only time I met him. He was of a solitary character and I am not sure that he ever published anything or joined any societies. My introduction came through a friend, Walter Watts, who spent collecting holidays with him, but I do not know how they met’. (MD 5/03)
