Population
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. In 1831, there were just 135 inhabitants of Knotting alone, therefore it is possible that the population has not really altered.
At the 2011 Census the population was included in the civil parish of Knotting and Souldrop.
Parish Church
The Parish Church is partly of 12th century Norman construction, including a chancel arch with carved decoration, and is dedicated to St Margaret. The registers date from 1592 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.
