'''Snods Edge''' is a small hamlet in South [Northumberland](/source/Northumberland), about {{convert|4|mi|0}} from [Consett](/source/Consett). The name is thought to have derived from "snow's edge", referring to the hamlet's close proximity (about 5&nbsp;km or 3&nbsp;mi) to the North Pennines.<ref>[http://www.northeastengland.talktalk.net/Place%20Name%20Meanings%20P%20to%20S.htm Place names and their meanings]</ref>

== History ==
thumb|St John's Church
thumb|Football field
The hamlet consists of a church dedicated to St John, a church hall, a football field used by the church team "St John's Snods Edge FC, shortend to Snods Edge FC", a vicarage and three houses.  The church hall was formerly a school, and won the Northumberland Community Council "Best Village Hall" award three times.

The majority of the buildings date from the 19th century, and the church from 1835 when the centre of the [Anglican](/source/Anglicanism) parish of Shotley Low Quarter was moved from [St Andrew's chapel](/source/St_Andrew's_Church%2C_Shotley) on Kiln Pit Hill to the new site.<ref>http://www.newcastle.anglican.org/worship/church_extract.php?deanery=Corbridge#mappos{{Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>  The parish itself, now known as Shotley St John, is within the deanery of [Corbridge](/source/Corbridge) in the [Diocese of Newcastle](/source/Diocese_of_Newcastle).

Snods Edge hosts a number of events each year for the parish, including an art exhibition, which is mainly for local artists to display their paintings. It also hosts a number of other events including a weekly Sunday tea where members of the parish, as well as the local Women's Institute, cook home-made products such as cakes and sandwiches. This usually runs from around March until October; however, in 2011 the first Sunday for teas is 8 May.

There was also once a weekend-long camping event on the sports field during the Easter holiday for the children of the parish, but this has been since been stopped because of waning numbers over the years. {{Citation needed|date=September 2007}} This sports field has recently{{when|date=September 2019}} undergone an intensive drainage scheme which will hopefully open up the field for future events.

== Governance ==

Snods Edge is in the [parliamentary](/source/House_of_Commons_of_the_United_Kingdom) constituency of [Hexham](/source/Hexham_(UK_Parliament_constituency)).
