**Snowshill** (locally [/ˈsnoʊzəl/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English) [*SNOH-zəl*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key),[1] [/ˈsnɒzəl/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English) [*SNOZ-əl*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key))[2] is a small [Cotswolds](/source/Cotswolds) village and [civil parish](/source/Civil_parish) in [Gloucestershire](/source/Gloucestershire), England, located near [Broadway](/source/Broadway%2C_Worcestershire), [Worcestershire](/source/Worcestershire). The population taken at the [2011 census](/source/United_Kingdom_Census_2011) was 164.[3]

## Prehistoric history

An important early [Bronze Age](/source/Bronze_Age) hoard was found outside Snowshill in the late nineteenth century. Excavated from a [barrow](/source/Tumulus) in 1881, it includes a [picrite](/source/Picrite) battle-axe and bronze pin, dagger and spear-head. Dated to between 2100 and 1600 BC, it is now in the [British Museum](/source/British_Museum)'s collection.[4]

## Snowshill Manor

Snowshill is best known for nearby [Snowshill Manor](/source/Snowshill_Manor), a [National Trust](/source/National_Trust_for_Places_of_Historic_Interest_or_Natural_Beauty) property open to the public. The manor house contains an unusual collection of furniture, musical instruments, craft tools, toys, clocks, bicycles and armour, all collected by architect and craftsman [Charles Paget Wade](/source/Charles_Paget_Wade) between 1900 and 1951. His [Arts and Crafts-style](/source/Arts_and_Crafts_movement) gardens are arranged in an eccentric combination of terraces and ponds forming outdoor rooms, with bright colours and delightful scents.[5]
