Knockin is a village and civil parish in north-west Shropshire, England. It is located on the B4396 road, around 5 miles south-east of the town of Oswestry, and 11+1⁄2 miles from the county town of Shrewsbury.
The former name of Knockin was Cnukyn. The village comprises mainly historic detached buildings in a rural setting. The Earl of Bradford owned much of Knockin until it was sold off in lots to meet other financial demands. The Earl still owns the cricket pitch and other small pockets of land in the area. The local public house is called the Bradford Arms and displays the Earl's Bridgeman family coat of arms. The pub also has a clock with three faces, hung outside above the main entrance. The motto displayed on the sign is that of the Bridgeman family "Nec temere nec timide" .
