Over recent years, our clubs and groups have evolved to provide an impressive range of services and interests for our residents, from dancing and fitness to crochet and coffee.

To focus on what they do, both the Village Hall Committee and the Knapton History Group have developed their own dedicated websites and we are pleased to provide the links to both of them here.

We are all privileged to live Knapton in many ways, but how many of us know about our secretive little neighbours that live in the Village Pond on the edge of Wilds Way.

Great Crested Newts are a protected species and the Parish Council are about to embark on a very special project to ensure their long term safety and to make sure that we all live happily ever after side by side.    The PC has teamed up with Norfolk Coast and the Norfolk Ponds Project to create a learning environment where by helping to build it, children learn about the world around them, and they want all the children and parents in School Close and Wilds Way in particular to get involved.
The project will;

• make the pond as safe as we can so that our younger residents can enjoy it
• design info boards to go onto the fence
• make the path through the trees (which forms part of the “Permissible Path” from Knapton to Knapton Green) as safe as possible
• expand the “Bug Hotel” that currently exists in a small clearing so that parents and children can get involved to learn more about the world around us
• add seating in the area
• plant a small orchard area so that the space is used positively

We’ll let you know more as more details are released, but if you can’t wait you can always contact our Parish Clerk
