Richard Knevet was a gentleman pensioner of Elizabeth I and was buried in St John the Evangelist's chapel at Westminster Abbey in 1559. His inscription, now gone, was recorded by William Camden in his guide to the Abbey published in 1600:

Here lieth Richard Knevet Esquier who was one of the gentleman pencioners to our Souveraigne Lady Queene Elizabeth, which Richard had died the first day of November

Nothing further is known about him from Abbey records.
