There are four entries for [Church] Knowle [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SY9481/church-knowle/] [accessed 5 December 2014], of which only the one in the lordship of Roger de Beaumont mentions a priest, but not a church in it, though there probably was one there. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SY9407881938] (1959) reports the church of "C13 origin", but mentions no font in it. The present font, of overall octagonal shape, with an octagonal-to-square lower base and a wooden cover, appears modern.
