context_page_description: Knook is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. The village lies to the north of the River Wylye at the edge of Salisbury Plain, about 4 ¹⁄₂ miles southeast of Warminster, close to the A36 road to Salisbury.
  The parish includes Knook Camp, an accommodation centre for the Salisbury Plain military training area, part of the Defence Training Estate.
context_section_description: The oldest parts of the Church of England parish church of St Margaret are early Norman, from the late 11th century. They include decorative carved stonework, which is notable in the tympanum to an arched doorway. St Margret's was a dependent chapelry of the collegiate church of SS. Peter and Paul, Heytesbury. A monumental inscription at St Margaret's dating from 1592 asks "Of your cheriti praye for ye soule of Iohn Morgan Gentleman and Elinor his wife with all thaire progenitors and all Christians amen".
  The church was restored by William Butterfield in 1874–6, and was designated as Grade I listed in 1968. Parish registers survive from 1687 and are kept at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre. The benefice was united with Heytesbury-with-Tytherington in 1885, and today the church is served by the Upper Wylye Valley team.
