KNOWLE PEOPLE
There is insufficient space for more than a few of the many significant people worthy
of inclusion in this list of notable Knowle residents. It has therefore been necessary
to be very selective. The Lords of the Manor and the Knowle and incumbents will
eventually be included, together with a select number of people who have left their
mark on the village.
Above: The tomb of Queen Eleanor of Castile in Westminster Abbey. Edward I granted
Knowle and twenty one other manors to the Queen in dower.
Right: Canon John Howe, the last perpetual curate and first Vicar of Knowle.
