This stone stands in a corner of "The Pastures", a plot of common land on the northern side of the A149. It is a slate slab inscribed with words from the entry for Snitterley (now Blakeney) in the Domesday Book that was compiled for William the Conqueror in 1086. “The Snitterley Domesday Slate” and two other almost identical vertical slate slabs, one in Holt and one in Cley-next-the Sea, were created by the Norfolk-based stonemason Teucer Wilson in 2017. The name Snitterly - thought to be derived from the words Sentra (a person’s name) and leah (piece of ground or a clearing) - was Blakeney’s original name. It is thought that Danish invaders established a settlement here in 1242 which was subsequently renamed Blakenye and eventually spelt Blakeney.
