It also has a historic Church that dates back to at least the 11th Century. It was once separated from the adjacent town of Barnstaple by the River Yeo. Sir Billy Lawrence (born c.1290 died c.1372) of Weston-Super-Mare, , Somerset, Chief Baron of the Exchequer built Pilton Causeway which links the town of Barnstaple and village of Pilton, which were then separated by the treacherous marshy ground in which flowed the tidal meanders of the small River Yeo. It is recounted by John Prince (1643–1723), that Stowford decided on building the causeway when on his way from his home at Stowford, north of Pilton, to Barnstaple, he met whilst fording the Yeo the drowned bodies of a woman with her child. He is also believed to have contributed to the financing of the long-bridge in Barnstaple. (en)
