It should not be confused with the Welsh border town of Knighton, which coincidentally is also on the River Teme. The parish consists of the village of Newnham Bridge and several small hamlets including Knighton, Bickley, Little London and Woodgates Green. It has a population of around 500 people and about 200 houses.[1] A Norman Romanesque church in the parish, St Michael and All Angels, is a Grade I listed building.
History
Domesday Book states the parish as having a priest in 1086.[2]
