History

Wilton is mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to William the Conqueror, and having 47 ploughlands and associated meadowland.[1] The name Wilton shares a common route with Wilton in what is now Redcar and Cleveland, and Bishop's Wilton in the East Riding. All are thought to be from Wildetuna, meaning waste; all three were described in the Domesday survey as having parts which were waste.[2] The Inclosure Act 1773 provided for up to Script error: No such module "convert". of land to be divided up.Template:Sfn

The previous church was a chapel-of-ease to the main church, the Church of St Hilda, within the old parish that Wilton fell under (Ellerburn).[8][9][10] The church is now a grade II listed building, and retains c. Template:TrimScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". walls on the south side.[11][12] To the south and south-east of the church grounds are the remains of Wilton Hall moated site.
