Great & Little Snoring

#This website is dedicated to two villages in rural North Norfolk, England: Great Snoring and Little Snoring. Nowadays, Little Snoring is the larger of the two.

Famed for their strange name, these two villages seem nowadays to offer little more than tranquility for holidaymakers, quaintness for tourists, traditional values, country living, quietness and a close-knit community. I'm sure there are other qualities that I've missed, but to the casual observer the Snorings seem lost in time. Nonetheless, they have a rich history.

North Norfolk embraces around 400 square miles and has one of the most beautiful coastlines in the UK. Here are pretty villages, bustling market towns, secluded sandy beaches and acres of unspoilt countryside. Its coastline stretches for 43 miles and much of it is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The diverse landscape includes wide sandy beaches, pine forests, saltmarshes and mudflats.

This website is an attempt to offer some genealogical data to those whose roots are in the Snorings. As you will see from my personal contact page, I'm just one individual (not a historical society) so I'm afraid I cannot undertake research work on your behalf, and may not be able to answer your questions (although I'll try).

As I'm always working on other things (and I have a life) data will be added/updated slowly.

#I am currently working on the Parish Registers of Little Snoring and have completed Book One.
