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.
