Hi, I'm trying to find information on the rather large Anglo-Saxon royal hall you have nearby at Hatton Rock. It seems to have been excavated at some point but I can't find any archaelogical reports on it, I'm trying to research it's location as part of a novel I'm writing set in 7th Century Mercia that culminates with the burying of the staffordshire hoard. I'd love to see the site where it is. If anyone knows anything please email me at pttphs@googlemail.com Thank you. Regards S.Davies |

I'm an American genealogist living in London. I traced my own family history to Snitterfield from 1575. Does anyone know if there are any people with the surname Harvey still in the area? |

Dear villagers of Snitterfield, I can't find any reference on this site to the village being the birthplace of John Shakespeare, father of William. I am assured that this is so. Can anyone further enlighten me on this? Where, for example, was John Shakespeare's actual birthplace? |

Hi, Does anybody know of any ground available for sheep to graze in the Village? We have a small flock of sheep and a few acres of ground already but could do with some more for certain times of the year. We are ideally looking for anything up to 6 acres. |

I lived at Hatton Bank Farm in 1954, when my father Harry Rose was foreman for the owner Clyde Higgs who owned several farms in the area, including Black Hill and Hatton Rock, and supplied milk to most of Stratford and surrounding area. He was extremely wealthy and visited his farms in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce. I went to school in Snitterfield, and am writing a book about my father. I visited Hatton Bank Farm a few years ago and was dismayed o find that the beautiful Queen Anne farmhouse with six bedrooms, cellars, a music room and an acre of gardens had been demolished and some kind of hideous modern barn put in it's place. I have a fund of hilarious (and sad) stories about the farm, our time in Warwickshire forms just one chapter of the book. I wondered if you have a historical society in the village, and if what I have written could be of interest to them. Does any one, aged 65 or over, remember Hatton Bank Farm, the Rose family, Carol Rose, Clyde Higgs, or might my name ap... read more |

At long last there is now a new chef @ Snitterfield Arms. The new menu was filled with an array of fish/shellfish dishes, also an incredible selection of meat dishes. I had half pint of prawns which was served with 4 pieces of chunky wholegrain bread with marie rose & mayo dips! Then followed by the Goujons of Haddock in Tempura batter with side salads (served with mustard dressing) and a large portion of twice cooked chips. Chris did not have a starter but the Cod in a crispy & light batter with Chips filled him up. I was tempted also to try several other dishes but will have to return soon! Well Done, Chef Ken! It's time we have a pub which served great food again! |

I am trying to establish whether George White born to George and Ann White around 1888 is my Grandfather. I have a copy of the 1911 census and certain things lead me to believe he maybe the person I am looking for. 1. age is correct. 2 fathers name is correct. 3. Occupation is correct. 4. fathers occupation correct. 5. George is married but wife is not on census. I found my grandmother at home with her parents without her husband in Cradley. The Whites are living in Snitterfield in 1911. The names of a daughter Margaret and another son William Edward also appear on the census. Are there any Whites still living in the village related to this family or anyone that knows of them. The name of George juniors wife would be a great help or his middle name. Any help appreciated. Thankyou Elaine Evans. |

Since we are supposed to be an Eco village, why is it that we still have stinking fires in School Rd and Church Rd . Surely this can be placed in the green bin over a period of weeks. |
