Thomas Andrew Knight (1759-1838) was a horticulturalist and botanist who lived at Downton Castle, Herefordshire. He used the 10,000 acres (40 km²) he inherited to conduct breeding of strawberries, cabbages, peas, and others. He also built an extensive greenhouse. In 1797 he published a Treatise on the Culture of the Apple and Pear. He was one of the leading names in eighteenth century horticulture, but his personal papers disappeared after his death. He was a President of the Royal Society.
