Knowlton was an eccesiastical and civil parish; the former was abolished in 1940 http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit_page.jsp?u_id=10221766, the latter on 1 April 1935 http://vision.edina.ac.uk/relationships.jsp;jsessionid=EDF3C3572E6E9267BE3D6DC0F99D3AB4?u_id=10221754, 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 200acres 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.
Knowlton is a thankful village, in that it did not lose anyone in World War I.
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.
