Hi I live on knott lane about 2 minutes walk from west lodge which is one of the exits from rawdon crematorium. I have only just started doing some research into the history around here. I think knottfield house was built in 1874. I don't know where in the existing grounds is was located. There is a small building near the car park with a stone stating built in 1925 but not found out what this was as yet. Crem opened in 1959, but when you walk around the 2 lodges are much older as are some of the walls, steps etc
