The name derives partly from a personal noun, with Pica's-tūn, meaning Pica's settlement or farmstead.[2] Formerly a township in the Broxton Hundred, its population was 138 in 1801, 155 in 1851, 141 in 1901, 119 in 1951 and 58 in the 2001 census.[1][3]

In 1995 aerial photography showed evidence of a Roman practice fort in the parish.[4][5]

Picton Hall and Picton Hall Farmhouse are designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building. It is the only listed building in the parish.[6]
