At the centre of Great Snoring stands the 13th century church of St Mary. The village itself is a very traditional Norfolk village with pretty red brick and flint cottages.

History

There are many thoughts from locals at to where the intriguing name of the village and its sister village Little Snoring derived from : possibly from the form of snow in the villages in a circle ‘snow ring’ to the more accurate history of the 14th century gentry the ‘de Snoryng’ Family. Ideas can also be traced back to 450AD and the Saxon invasions where the name of Snoring as a settlement of Snear (meaning swift, bright or alert)

Visit

The neighbouring village of Walsingham is best known for the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham and the grounds of the Walsingham Abbey are famous for the spectacular ruins of the mediaeval priory and a place of pilgrimage. During the late spring the grounds are equally famous for the carpets of bluebells displayed the 18-acre woodland and throughout February you can see the masses of tiny white snowdrops.

Just a quick wee note to say how much we all enjoyed our stay at slumber barn. It was a fantastic property and the attention to detail was fab.
It is a beautiful part of the country and we as a family would definitely like to come back so we hope all was in order when we left and we took good care of slumber barn during our stay.
Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to the lucky owners and to you and all the staff at sowerbys who couldn’t have been nicer to deal with.
Hope to book again in the not too distant future!!
Kindest regards

The Hitchcock Party, 23rd of July 2021

We have had an amazing week here at Slumber Barn. We loved the gardens and the hot tub and we liked having two outdoor seating areas . The house is really well set out for entertaining and everything we needed was provided. Slumber Barn was beautifully furnished, lovely bedding and towels. Very much felt like a hotel. The weather was exceptional this week so we spent most of our time at Holkham and Wells beaches. In all it was a beautiful stay in your very stylish barn - We hope to return.
