About Snettisham

Snettisham breathes the salt-laced air of the Wash, a village that has long since turned its face towards the sea. It lies 6.6 km south of Hunstanton (from Hunstanton: bearing 172°T, OS grid TF 684 342), and is situated north of Ingoldisthorpe village. Its church, St Mary's, stands sentinel, its tower a weathered finger pointing skyward, a testament to centuries of faith and seafaring enterprise. The village green, a patch of well-trodden turf, carries the faint scent of damp earth and distant brine, a quiet stage for the comings and goings of its residents. Historically, Snettisham was a place of some note, its fortunes tied to the ebb and flow of the tides and the trade that passed through its ancient harbour, now silted and gone. Even today, the low murmur of the wind across the salt marshes hints at the wildness that presses in on the edges of the village.
