SNITTERFIELD, (Warwickshire) to the N. of Stratford upon Avon, bel. once to St. Sepulchre's-Ch. at Warwick, and to the monks of Bordesley. It had formerly a Mt. on W. afterwards changed to Tu. but long since disused; and a Fair, July 16, procured by one of its Lds. the Cantilupes. The manor was granted by Henry VIII. to Rich. Morison, and his heirs, who sold it to John Hales of Coventry; one of whose heirs, in the R. of Ja. I. in consideration of 1500 l. in hand, and 500 marks to be paid to his assigns at his death, settled it on Steph. Hales of Newland; one of whose descendants sold it, in 1668, for 14,500 l. to Tho. Coventry, afterwards E. of Coventry, whose posterity enjoyed it; and the last possessor of the family was the lady Ann, countess dowager.
