While "Pytchley" itself is not commonly found in idiomatic expressions, its context falls within the broader category of expressions related to hunting and country life. Here are some relevant idiomatic expressions associated with hunting culture:
"Охота в деревне" относится к участию в сельских мероприятиях, часто связанным с охотой на лис, как в Питчли.

The term "Pytchley" is derived from the geographic location in Northamptonshire, which itself may originate from Old English elements, such as "pic" meaning "pitch" and "leah," meaning "wood" or "clearing." Over time, it has come to be associated specifically with the hunting practices in that area.
