About this image
Closer view of Snitterton Hall in the summer from fields with Snitterton in the background. Also see image DCCS000332.
Snitterton Hall dates to the Elizabethan period and has a symmetrical front with gabled and crenellations. The garden wall in the foreground has an arched opening and square pavilions or summer houses at either end. The remains of a moat behind the Manor House suggest that the building began life as a Medieval manor house, owned by the Snittertons and then their successors, the Sacheverall's. In 1596 the hall was sold and, after several owners, was bought by John Milward. It is thought that he built much of the hall as we see it today.
