Welcome to Knaptoft
A little bit about Knaptoft.
Knaptoft is small hamlet of a few houses and farms. It is a deserted medieval village first recorded in the doomsday book. The only visible remains from the original village are some farm buildings, the medieval fish ponds and the ruined church of St Nicolas. You can walk from here on a lovely stroll past the medieval ponds up the hill to the churchyard, where there are outstanding views of Leicestershire.
