Snargate is a village in Kent, England, four miles West of New Romney and on the route of the old watercourse Rhee Wall.

[3] Cleric and novelist Richard Barham (aka Thomas Ingoldsby) was ordained in 1813 and found a curacy at Snargate, marrying Caroline Smart the following year.

Harold Gilman only lived two years longer, dying in 1919 as one of the numerous victims of the so-called Spanish Influenza outbreak at the end of the First World War.

[7] Snargate has a well known pub, The Red Lion, which originates from the early 16th century and has been run by the current family since 1911 and, except for the odd lick of paint, has not been redecorated since 1890.

It is a Grade II listed public house,[8] and is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.
