SNIBSTON, a chapelry, in the parish of Packington, union of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, hundred of West Goscote, N. division of the county of Leicester, 4½ miles (S. E.) from Ashby; containing 352 inhabitants. It is detached from the rest of the parish, is situated on the road from Leicester to Ashby, and comprises about 800 acres, in equal portions of arable and pasture. The chapel is dedicated to St. Mary, and appears to have been a much more extensive pile of building, and connected with the convent of Coventry.
