The first mention of a Knyvett at Southwick is in 1194. The Knyvetts allowed Southwick to pass to the Lynn family after inheriting a better seat at Buckenham Castle. The Lynn family held the manor of Southwick from 1442 until 1840. A connection is traced between the three families which have owned the village from the 12th to the 21st centuries.
