There are documentary references to Pill Farm from the late 14th century. The original farmhouse, now demolished, is depicted on the Tawstock Tithe Map together with associated outbuildings around a rectangular yard close to the north side of the stream with a further range of buildings on the south side. Although the farmhouse had gone by the end of the 19th century (a new house was built to the north) the agricultural buildings are still largely extant although now converted.
