Archive CreatorParish of Snelston St Peter
Administrative HistorySnelston was at least nominally a chapelry of Norbury until 1871, when it became a separate parish. The rector of Norbury was patron of the benefice, but in effect it had been independent, with its own parish officers and separate registers.
Custodial HistoryThese documents were deposited with Derbyshire Record Office at various dates between November 1982 and June 2005.
Organisation Sub-TypeChurch of England Parishes
Physical DescriptionThe parish records were badly damaged by floodwater at Snelston Hall in July 1972. A number of documents were completely destroyed, and the earlier registers reduced to fragments. Many have been repaired, but some are still unfit for production.
