The manor of Pilton belonged to a Benedictine Priory, which was founded here as a cell of Malmesbury Abbey, and was valued at £56. 12s. 8d. per annum at the dissolution, when it and the manor were granted to the Chichester family. [...] The Church is an ancient Gothic structure, with an embattled tower, and six bells.
