The hamlet is approximately 6 miles (10 km) west from the town of Sudbury, Suffolk and 23 miles (37 km) north-northeast from the county town and city of Chelmsford. It is where Gage's Road from Belchamp St Paul village at the north-east, and Belchamps Road from Tilbury Juxta Clare at the south-west, meet at the junction of Pollard's Green Lane which leads north to Ovington.[1]
Knowl Green comprises houses, cottages, two farms with associated buildings, and the Cherry Tree public house. The Cherry Tree was recorded as such in 1933.[2] An arm of Belchamp Brook, a tributary of the River Stour, rises at the north of Knowl Green and flows by the hamlet.[3]
There are seven Grade II listed buildings in Knowl Green. Hole Farmhouse is an early 19th-century timber-framed house at the north of the junction, with, 44 yards (40 m) to the south, an associated timber-framed and weatherboarded late 19th-century cartshed.[4][5] Woodbarn's Farmhouse, at the south of the junction, is a timber-framed and plastered house dating to the 15th century.[6] At the west of the hamlet on Belchamp Road are two conjoined two-storey 18th-century cottages, timber-framed, with brick corners and flint infill.[7] At the east of the hamlet at the north side of Gage's Road is a 17th-century timber-framed thatch-roofed cottage.[8] Opposite, and set back at the south of the road is a further 17th-century timber-framed thatch-roofed cottage.[9] Near this cottage, and on Gage's Road, is The Cherry Tree Inn, timber-framed and plastered, and with gable dormers, dating to the late 17th century, with a 20th-century extension.[10]
