The toponym of Pishill comes from pisum, Latin for pea. This was due to the many pea farms that once existed in the area.
The dedication of the Church of England parish church is unknown. It was originally an 11th century Norman building but it was rebuilt in 1854. One of the stained glass windows was made in 1967 by John Piper who for many years lived less than 2.5 miles (4.0 km) away in Fawley Bottom, Buckinghamshire.
