Knowle is one of the finest historic villages in the region, with roots deep in medieval times — the name itself comes from Old English meaning "small hill", a reference to the slightly raised ground on which the village stands. The settlement grew in importance after the construction of St John the Baptist Church in the early 14th century, built in impressive red sandstone brought from Kenilworth. This large and unusually grand church — built in a style more typical of a town than a village — testifies to Knowle's prosperity and importance even then. The village developed along its coaching routes between Birmingham, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon, with inns, blacksmiths and shops serving travellers. Medieval buildings survive: Chester House (now Knowle Library) was built around 1400-1500 and is Grade II* listed, originally comprising two dwellings for local craftsmen. The historic centre is now a conservation area, protecting the character of the High Street, village green and surrounding period properties. In the late 19th and 20th centuries, Knowle developed as a sought-after commuter settlement for Birmingham's affluent classes, with Victorian and Edwardian homes built nearby. From the 1950s onwards, modern suburban expansion created estates of detached and semi-detached homes north and west of the village core. Today, Knowle stands as one of the best-preserved historic villages inside the West Midlands conurbation, highly valued as one of the region's most desirable places to live. At House Rewiring Birmingham, we know Knowle's housing inside out — from the medieval and period properties in the conservation area where sympathetic rewiring respects historic character, through the Victorian and Edwardian homes built during growth, to the post-war detached and semi-detached estates where entire generations of wiring are now beyond their design life. We bring every Knowle home safely and affordably up to modern electrical standards — carefully, tidily and at a fair fixed price.
