HISTORY

The Estate was inherited in 1544 by John Peyton, MP, and the current house was built in 1585.

The imposing red-brick Queen Anne façade which is much admired today, was added in 1715. The Grade II listed Dower House is Elizabethan.

Knowlton is under the stewardship of the Fox-Pitt family, one of Britain's best-known equestrian families and whose passion for agriculture, environment, conservation and preservation will see it carefully handed to the next generation.
