Bilsington is an old village with plenty of history hidden in its folds. Its church, St Peter and St Paul, is 12th-century although large sections were rebuilt over the centuries. Next to it sits a 15th-century barn, lovingly taken care of, with its own medieval moat. It's now a spectacular wedding venue.

The monument that lies just to the east is the Cosway obelisk, built in the 1800s in honour of Sir William Cosway, a local landowner, who lost his life in a coach accident.
