Knightwick is a small village and civil parish (with Doddenham) in the Malvern Hills district in the county of Worcestershire, England.
Knightwick manor house dates in part from the late 17th century and is a Grade II* listed building. [1]
Knightwick's former parish church has been lost and replaced in 1879 with a mortuary chapel in the village graveyard. [2]
Following the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 Knightwick Parish ceased to be responsible for maintaining the poor in its parish. This responsibility was transferred to Martley Poor Law Union. [3]
