Kneeton - an Introduction
Some descriptions of the village from early guide books and county histories
The village of Kneeton, Says Guilford (p.106)*, originally spelt its name Kneveton, but it was pronounced as it is now spelt. This dropping of the Medieval 'v's' in pronounciation is the rule in Nottinghamshire.
