Part of the Church Micro series administered by Sadexploration.
This is a traditional cache, situated down the hill from All Saints Church.
The below photograph shows the East window as well as the well proportioned north aisle window dedicated to the 5th Duke of Rutland.
Knipton Church was conceived as a "double church": note the unusual width of the north aisle. This is known as the Hall Place Aisle, named after the manor house in Knipton. The aisle was owned by the Avenell family and was screened from the nave along its whole length. It had its own private door, which is now the only entrance to the church, and its own private chapel at the chancel end, hence the large window.
The parish church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building, featuring a 13th-century tower to the west and chancel at the east end, with a 14th-century nave and north aisle between them.
A south aisle was added in 1869 by W. Thompson of Grantham. The churchyard includes two listed table tombs.
ALL SAINTS CHURCH, KNIPTON
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
