Ghost Hunting at Knowlton Church

Want to visit one of Dorset’s most haunted spots? Knowlton Church is one of the most atmospheric places in Dorset and is also said to be the most haunted. Within the picturesque surroundings lies an aura of melancholy where some of the spirits who have passed in the last 4000 years are said to still linger. Can you spot the phantom horse and rider or the weeping nun?

The Christian church was built in the 12^th century and was deliberately sited in the middle of a pagan place of worship in an effort to assimilate Christianity and stamp out the Pagan beliefs. The Norman origins are clear from the plain round arch leading into the east end and the round-headed arches of the arcade dividing the nave from the north aisle.
