SNITTERTON, (Norfolk) betw. Harpham and Lerling, had 2 p.-Chs. before one of them was pulled down in the R. of Hen. VIII.
There were also 2 gilds or mons. in this T. and some lands here did bel. to the priory of Buckenham. It is assessed to the
K's-tax at 420 l. and has about 200 inh. In the Confessor's time it was 2 Ts. the S. part being called Snetterton, and the
N. part, where the demolished Ch. stood, Ashby, both together being 2 m. long, and 1 broad. The 2 parts afterwards became
4 manors, the fines whereof are at the Ld's. will, and the eldest son is heir. They have no leet bel. to them, this having
always bel. to the Ld. of its H. viz. Shropham.
