Snap, Wiltshire

Snap is an abandoned village near Aldbourne in Wiltshire, England.

It was always a small place: in the 14th century there were 19 poll-tax payers, in 1773 there were between five and ten cottages, and at the 1851 Census the population was 41.

In 1905, Henry Wilson, a butcher from Ramsbury, bought the two farms in the village and converted them from arable to sheep farming, which deprived the villagers of their work.

The site lies near the Ridgeway National Trail.
