Ralph Sneyd (sportsman)

  • English

Ralph Sneyd is the last direct descendant of the Sneyd family of Keele Hall, born at Denton in Oxfordshire and raised within the traditions of a long-established Staffordshire estate. Remembered as a fine sportsman, a keen fisherman, and an expert shot, he carried the late-Victorian country-gentleman profile into the 20th century, overseeing the family properties until selling the family papers after the Second World War. - AsNotedIn
