The manor was transferred down successive generations of the Berkeley family until it came into the possession of Robert Poyntz of nearby Iron Acton in 1418.

The Poyntz family gave up the manor at the beginning of the 17th century, Richard Fust subsequently assuming the lordship in 1609.

[10] On 18 January 1816, a group of sixteen poachers were encountered by a party of gamekeepers belonging to Colonel Berkeley and Lord Ducie at Catgrove, a wooded area in the parish of Hill.

Some of the poachers were in possession of firearms, which led to an assistant gamekeeper named William Ingram, a member of Berkeley's contingent, to be shot dead.

Along with these Woodland areas, Ordnance Survey maps also show a number of small streams running through the centre and towards the west of the parish.

The church has undergone restorations; the nave was rebuilt in 1759 and the mortuary chapel was stored in the early 18th century, both by Francis Fust.

The chancel was restored in 1870 by Ewan Christian, followed by the rebuilding of the porch and addition of buttresses in 1909 by William Weir and Temple Moore.
