The parish was covered by the 2001 UK Census but was combined with neighbouring Souldrop. In 2001, there was a combined population of 269 people - in 110 households.[1] In 1831, there were just 135 inhabitants of Knotting alone, therefore it is possible that the population has not really altered.[2]
It is in the civil parish of Knotting and Souldrop.
The Parish Church is partly of 12th century Norman construction, including a chancel arch with carved decoration, and is dedicated to St Margaret.[3] The registers date from 1592[4] and many of these are deposited at the Bedfordshire and Luton Archives and Records Service. The church was vested with the Churches Conservation Trust on 1 April 2009.[5]
