Knowle is a village and civil parish in the City of Winchester district of Hampshire, England. Its nearest town is Fareham, which lies approximately 2.9 miles (3.5 km) south-east from the village. ==Hampshire County Lunatic Asylum== In the mid-19th century the County Asylums Act and Lunacy Act (1845) made it a requirement that every United Kingdom county should build an asylum if they had not already done so, or should join with another neighbouring county to achieve the same goal. For the Hampshire asylum, a 100-acre (0.40 km2) site was located, known as Knowle Farm, close to Wickham. What became known as the Hampshire County Lunatic Asylum opened in December 1852. By 1856, the asylum had expanded to take 400 patients, and growth continued throughout the century - with over 1,000 patients at the asylum by 1900. In the 1950s, Knowle housed almost 2000 patients. Both male and female patients were admitted, and were expected to work on the farm, in the kitchens and in other trades to help support their community. The asylum was renamed Knowle Mental Hospital in 1923 and then became Knowle Hospital in 1948, before finally closing in 1996.
