Knowlton church stands in the centre of a henge dating back 4,000 years to the Neolithic period. Knowlton lacked the standing stones of Stonehenge but probably had upright wooden posts instead. It is said that a large figure of a man dressed in a long cloak haunts the church. Just north of knowlton is a place called Bagmans lane, there resides a much more nasty and terrifying ghost, it is thought to be that of a very large dog [a Black shuck] with glowing red eyes ,it comes pounding towards you with real purpose, if it goes past you your fine, but if it stops and growls then you'd best head for the local church for complete forgiveness.
