C. Morley (Charles Lewis William Morley) Knight

Charles Lewis William Morley Knight, usually published as C. Morley Knight, is known for Hints on Driving, a practical manual on driving horses and horse-drawn vehicles. The book was published in the 1890s and later reprinted, and Project Gutenberg identifies him as Captain C. Morley Knight, R.A., indicating service in the Royal Artillery.

What can be confirmed from the available sources is fairly limited, but the picture is consistent: he wrote as someone with direct experience, offering clear advice on harness, single and double driving, and the management of different kinds of carriages. That gives his work an approachable, instructive tone that still appeals to readers interested in horsemanship, transport history, or everyday skills from the Victorian period.

A separate historical source from Exmoor National Park names Charles Lewis William Morley Knight as a family trustee and states that this role remained with him until his death in 1937. Beyond that, reliable biographical detail is scarce in the sources reviewed, so it is safest to remember him chiefly as a military officer and practical writer whose work preserves a useful slice of horse-driving knowledge from another age.
