SNENTON, or Sneinton, a parish, which is also a sub-district, in Radford district, Notts; suburban to the SE side of Nottingham; and consisting of S.-Elements, Old S., New S., and the Hermitage. It took its name from the same source as Nottingham; is thought by some writers to have been the cradle or original of that town; was given, by King John, to W. de Briwere; passed to the Pierre-ponts; had no greater seat of population, in the early years of the present century, than a few straggling houses; rose thence to the condition of a great suburb, with well built streets; shares now in the general interests of Nottingham; carries on lace-making, hose-making, the manufacture of chemicals, and the making of Roman cement, plaster, and bricks; and has a post-office, of the name of S. -Elements, under Nottingham. Acres, 720. Real property, £27,277. Pop. in 1851, 8,440; in 1861, 11,048. Houses, 278. The manor belongs to Earl Manvers. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Lincoln. Value, £227.* Patron, Earl Manvers. The church was rebuilt in 1840; is in the early English style, cruciform, and 120 feet long; and has a tower 90 feet high. There are a Wesleyan chapel, a national school, and the Notts lunatic asylum.
