contents We investigate a new family of cyclic septic fields $\{K_t\}_{t\in\mathbb{Z}}$ arising from the Hashimoto--Hoshi construction. For this family, we compute the discriminant explicitly and characterize their Pólya property under the condition that the polynomial $E(t) = t^{6} + 2t^{5} + 11t^{4} + t^{3} + 16t^{2} + 4t + 8$ takes fifth-power free values. We show that this family contains infinitely many non-Pólya fields for which the cardinality of the Pólya group is unbounded. We also establish that, assuming Bunyakovsky's conjecture for $E(t)$, this family contains infinitely many Pólya fields. We further show that, for any fixed positive integer $m$, there exist infinitely many blocks of $m$ consecutive fields in this family whose cardinality of the Pólya groups can be made arbitrarily large. Finally, we demonstrate that infinitely many fields in this family are non-monogenic with field index one.
