full episode below.
Knowlton church was once a thriving village before the black death in 1485 nearly wiped out everyone. Knowlton church was built in the 12th century, and despite the epidemic of the black death, the church continued in use until the 18th century. around 1746 there was a fire, and in 1747 the church was given a new roof, which didn't take long for it to fall in. The church was then left to ruin.
The biggest mystery that surrounds knowltons church was the disappearance of the bell that ended up in the river. the locals at the time tried to bring up the bell, but with no luck. Some of the locals believed that the Devil himself stole the bell, but a more plausible story is that thieves stole the bell with intentions of selling the bell, but then threw the bell into the river when they realised they was getting pursued.
Attempting to rescue the bell villagers found that every time they managed to secure it their ropes would mysteriously break, leaving the bell to rest in the river bed for ever. This story gave rise to the following rhyme
"Knowlton bell is stole
And thrown into White Mill hole,
Where all the devils in hell
could never pull up Knowlton Bell."

hi there, was just browsing knowlton sightings as its been a while , are you local to knowlton? have you ever came across black figures? me and a few friends have witnessed these a few times, whether they are spirits or actual people we do not no, however they have scared my friends so much that we have never gone back there since, and my last visit was probably in late 2009 i would love to go back to knowlton and investigate as me and my friends are very into ghost activity etc, i personally have heard the church bells ringing while stood outside the church among other things ,however after what has happend to us they no longer want to know, i wont go into to too much detail on here of what actually happened , as it will probably look to you we are hoaxing but i can tell you right now we are all very honest people and are all very certain of what happened there, so i would be very interested to know if you have ever witnessed black figures or people ,,,i look forward to your reply ???
