Our Allotments
The History of the Plots
The wonderfully generous Miss Constance Robinson gave 3.35 acres of land which formed part of the grounds of Knapton Hall, by Deed of Gift to the Parish Council in 1965 for use as allotments. The Deed states that;
…if at any time the said land hereby conveyed shall not be required for use as allotments … or for other recreational purposes for the said Parish of Knapton then the Council shall transfer the land to the Rector and Churchwardens for the time being of the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul Knapton to be held by them upon trust for sale for the general purposes of the said Church.
You can view or download the original Deed of Gift or, because the text is very faded, a text only version. Please note that both files are quite big.
