Churchyard cemetery of St Michael's church, Kniveton.

St Michaels is a charming little church consisting only of a nave, chancel and a tower. The tower, built in the 13th century, is unbuttressed and contains small lancet windows, battlements and a short spire. An ancient yew guards the doorway to the church and still bares the grooves worn when the archers were sharpening their arrows.

The cemetery contains many gravestones, old and new, with the more recent on the south side of the church. There is one gravestone carved by 'Poor Frank Raw', a Parish Clerk and gravestone cutter at Selby Abbey, Yorkshire (visit link) (visit link)
