It is usually pronounced as ''Kay-nighton'' by local people, to avoid confusion with the larger, Homophonic village of Niton , near Ventnor . It is home to the ruined manor house of Knighton Gorges. All that is left of the house is the two stone gateposts, but it is rumoured to reappear each New Year's Eve in ghostly form. Locals have also reported seeing animal-like gargoyles on top of each gatepost; these figures were removed many years ago and all that is left is plain stone. |
