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]
