KNOWLTON CHURCH AND EARTHWORKS

This Norman church, which was built in the 12th century, is situated at the centre of a Neolithic ritual henge earthwork.  The unusual pairing of the henge and the church symbolises the transition from pagan to Christian worship.

The 12th century church is built of stone and flint, and the line of the roof remains clearly visible on its eastern face.
