Manor

The toponym "Chilton" is derived from the Old English for "young man's farm".^{[citation needed]} The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Ciltone.^[2] It evolved via the forms Chiltone in the 12th century and Schelton in the 18th century before reaching its present form.^[2]

Before the Norman conquest of England Alric, son of Goding, a thegn of Edward the Confessor, held the manors of Chilton and Easington.^[2] However, the Domesday Book records that by 1086 the Norman baron Walter Giffard held the two manors.^[2]

Parish church

The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary the Virgin was originally a 12th-century Norman building but few details survive from that period.^[2] The chancel and south transept are 13th century, the Decorated Gothic tower forms the north transept^[3] and is mid-14th century.^[2] The nave,^[4] chancel arch and chancel roof were renewed in the 15th century.^[2] The Perpendicular Gothic south chapel was added in about 1520.^[2]
