Situated on an easily defended hill at the head of the <a href="/wiki/River_Taw" title="River Taw">Taw estuary</a> and close to where the river narrows enough to be fordable, Pilton was an important Saxon settlement. <a href="/wiki/Alfred_the_Great" title="Alfred the Great">Alfred the Great</a> (871–899) had a fortified town, or <a href="/wiki/Burh" title="Burh">burh</a>, built at Pilton. According to the <a href="/wiki/Burghal_Hidage" title="Burghal Hidage">Burghal Hidage</a>, an early 10th Century document setting out the details of all burhs then functioning, Pilton's wall was 1485 feet long and the nominated garrison consisted of 360 men drawn from the surrounding district in the event of an invasion.

Pilton remained the site of the original burh through much of the 10th century until this was moved a mile or so to the south-east to become Barnstaple, probably because times were more peaceful and the burh's role as a civilian market centre had become more significant. Barnstaple was better located for trade and developed as a market town and then as a borough. A Saxon ford would have typically been indicated by a <i>stapol</i>, or post – <i>Bearda's stapol</i> giving the town of Barnstaple its name. </p><p>The 13th century parish <a href="/wiki/Church_of_St_Mary_the_Virgin,_Pilton" title="Church of St Mary the Virgin, Pilton">Church of St Mary the Virgin</a> is a Grade I <a href="/wiki/Listed_building" title="Listed building">listed building</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This building is used for regular services, coffee mornings and concerts. </p><p>Part of the parish, including the village itself, was added to the borough of <a href="/wiki/Barnstaple" title="Barnstaple">Barnstaple</a> in 1836.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1891 the parish had a population of 2172.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The parish was divided into two <a href="/wiki/Civil_parish" title="Civil parish">civil parishes</a> in 1894 under the <a href="/wiki/Local_Government_Act_1894" title="Local Government Act 1894">Local Government Act 1894</a>, which said that parishes could not straddle borough boundaries.
