Snitterton is a hamlet in Derbyshire, located in South Darley parish, of some fifteen properties including two working farms and Snitterton Hall, a late 16th century manor house which is Grade 1 listed. There are signs that it was once a larger village.
In the centre of Snitterton there is a square stone set in the ground with an iron ring; this is an 18th century bullring, used to tether a bull for baiting with dogs.[1]
The parish church is St Mary the Virgin in the Cross Green area of Darley Bridge,[2] located opposite South Darley Church of England Primary School.
