Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Robert Snooks 1761-1802. The carved writing on this stone could do with picking out to make it more readable - it says:

ROBERT SNOOKS 11 MARCH 1802

So, you may think that it should be Snooks' Grave rather than Snook's Grave - well no; the highwayman commemorated here was christened James Blackman Snook in Hungerford, Berkshire on 16th August 1761. See 999723 for an explanation of the name, and 999762 for information on his crime.

For two slightly differing accounts of his life & death see http://www.grantham.karoo.net/paul/graves/snooks.htm and http://www.hemeltoday.co.uk/CustomPages/CustomPage.aspx?PageID=67250
