Details
The Church of St Mark's dates back to mid 14th century. It is Gothic style, but it was restored in 1873. Bilton was merged into the borough of Rugby in 1932. The church is built of red sandstone and was restored in 1973. Nearer to Dunchurch than to Bilton is Bilton Grange, now a preparatory school but formerly a country house built by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin in 1841-46.
Bilton is mentioned in the Domesday book and the name is thought to be derived from Bell, a stream on which the village stood and Ton the old English meaning for village.
