Knowlton was an eccesiastical and civil parish; the former was abolished in 1940 , the latter on 1 April 1935 , and the village is now part of Goodnestone civil parish, in the Dover district, in Kent, England. It is located about 10 miles (16 km) north of Dover. Knowlton Hall, set in 200 acres (81 ha) of parkland, is located here. In 1931 the civil parish had a population of 18.[1]
The Church of St Clement is now redundant and in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, and is open daily.[citation needed] Within the church, there are monuments to Lady Elizabeth d'Aeth and her father Sir John Narborough[2]
Knowlton is a thankful village, in that it did not lose anyone in World War I.[2]
It was once served (1916-1948), by a halt on the East Kent Light Railway, one of Colonel Stephen's lines, which ran between Sheperdswell & Wingham.
