Knaptoft Church Ruins

Today Knaptoft (of which The Greenway is a part) is a small hamlet of a few houses and farms in the Harborough district some ten miles south of Leicester. It was once a much larger village but most of it was deserted by the 17th century. The only visible remains from the original village are some farm buildings, the ruined parish church and its medieval fish ponds to the south (restored 1976-82 by our brother Richard and are visible from the footpath from The Greenway up to the ruins). You can make out earthworks around the east of the church where the village originally stood.  Your will experience the most outstanding views of Leicestershire when you walk up to the churchyard.
