The chain of seven radio-astronomy dishes across England, including Knockin, make up the existing Merlin network (Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network). Signals from the seven dishes are combined to create a clearer picture of the universe. The seven telescopes which make up the array are sited at Knockin, Defford, Pickmere, Darnhall and Cambridge, together with the Lovell telescope (third largest of its kind in the world) and Jodrell Bank's smaller Mark II telescope. Knockin is a 'robotic' site. The telescope is remotely controlled from Jodrell Bank. It's visited once a week by engineers who carry out routine maintenance work. The telescope was built in 1976, sending back the first data a year later, and was part of the phase one development of Merlin. The Cambridge dish was the last to be added to the network in 1991.

The parish church of St Mary was founded by Ralph Le Strange between 1182 and 1195 as a chapel for the castle. It has a Norman chancel, nave and north aisle but the building was heavily restored in 1846. Its graveyard was consecrated in 1817; before then at least some burials took place at Kinnerley.] It contains CWGC-registered war graves of two officers and two soldiers of the British Army of World War 1.

One of the radio telescopes that make up the Jodrell Bank MERLIN (Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network) radio telescope array is in Knockin. The array links several observing stations that together form a powerful telescope.
