This paper was presented at the Association’s July 1867 Barnstaple meeting. Pilton’s Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin formerly formed part of the Benedictine Pilton Priory, founded BY Athelstan between 925-940 as a cell of Malmesbury Abbey. It was closed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1533 when it was acquired by the Chichester Family of Raleigh Manor. An extensive bibliography related to the ancient Priory may be accessed at the Heritage Gateway website. The Paper, from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive.
