Knightwick is a small village and parish in the Oswaldslow hundred of Worcestershire.

History

The village was previously served by the now-closed Worcester, Bromyard and Leominster Railway, situated in neighbouring Lulsley.

Following the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 Knightwick Parish ceased to be responsible for maintaining the poor in its parish. This responsibility was transferred to Martley Poor Law Union.[1]
