Biography
Sir John Knightley, 1st Baronet, born in 1746, answered the call to serve as the cleric of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Fawsley, guiding its worship and teaching with steady conviction.
He visited the poor, tended the church fabric, and offered calm counsel to every stratum of the parish, leaving behind a memory of pastoral care that endured beyond his death in 1812.
