About Our Village
Something about the village
The village of Snitterfield (view Google Map) lies in the midst of undulating countryside in the heart of Warwickshire
and is situated some 4 miles (6.4km) north of Stratford upon Avon. It
derives its name from the early name ‘Snyenfeld’, referring to ‘Feld,
signifying a cleared stretch of land amid the Forest of Arden, and ‘Snyten’,
referring to the wisp of snipe that frequented the meadows near the
Sherborne Brook, which flows through the village.
The Parish covers a total of some 3,912 acres (1565 hectares), although it is likely
that this figure will be increased in the near future, with the reworking
of parish boundaries. Much of this area is good quality farming land,
interspersed with wildlife sanctuaries, such as the Snitterfield bushes.
The village
itself is a thriving community with a wide range of amenities, facilities
and activities and is one of the larger villages in the Avon Valley.
Our village has First World War memorial, two churchs, a hall, a shop, a primary school and a public house. Photos are shown below
