History

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]

Previously served by the now closed Worcester, Bromyard and Leominster Railway.
