Manor

The toponym "Chilton" is derived from the Old English for "young man's farm". The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Ciltone. It is now in the ownership of the Aubrey-Fletcher family and operated as a residential care home.

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. The chancel and south transept are 13th century, the Decorated Gothic tower forms the north transept and is mid-14th century.
