| Popis: | Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 37, 1-6 In his History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester (vol. iv, p. 225) John Nichols gives a pediwee of the families of Gobion and Turpin of Knaptoft which he continues from William Camden's Visitation of Leicestershire taken in 1619. Nichols describes Knaptoft Old Hall as built in the time of Henry VII by John Turpin (died 1494) and enlarged or embellished by his great-great-grandson Sir William Turpin (died 1617). Knaptoft church, once rich in heraldry and containing the Turpin family tombs, was in an advanced state of decay in 1805 and by 1835 was in ruins. In passing, it may be mentioned that Richard Watson (1737-1816), bishop of Llandaff, mathematician, chemist, divine and controversialist, was rector of Knaptoft from 1781-3. |
