Land Owners Of Knock In The 1860's.
A Memory of Knock.
I visited Knock often as a child as my aunt and her family, the Blaylocks, lived there. In ancient times the village was called Knock Shalcok and belonged to the Veteriponts and Cliffords. In 1860 the main landowners were Sir Richard Tufton, Francis F. Pearson, Rev. Edward Heelis, John Milner, Richard Atkinson, Joseph Bland , Robert Bland and Richard Lowes. Shap Abbey also owned some property in the area. I remember the fell races and hound trails up Knock Pike and Dufton Fell. Boy, those dogs could get a move on.
