"Knipton has a village hall, built as a Church of England primary school in 1850–54 in a "Mock Tudor" style, on the orders of the Duke of Rutland, and extended to the rear in 1868. The slate roof carries a tall spire above a louvred bell turret. The building has been Grade II listed since 1979, and ceased to be a school in the late 20th century."
