Early records indicate that warriors defending the forts at Musbury and Membury in 937AD were buried in Kilmington churchyard, and it is possible that there was a chapel on the site then. There was definitely one during the reign of Edward I (1272-1305), probably consisting of a small Nave and Chancel divided from each other by a screen with the Crucifix (Rood) over it. The Lancet windows to the north and south of the present altar are thought to have come from it. The present tower was built in the reign of Henry
VII (1485-1509) and it remains substantially the same today. The six bells were installed in the tower at various times between 1672 and 1895. In about 1800 AD it is recorded that four arches were removed from the Nave; these probably separated the Nave and North Aisle.
The Church was completely rebuilt in 1862 at a cost of £1,330. It is a good example of Victorian Churches with an open plan and good acoustics. On the ceiling of the North Aisle at the back of the Church you will notice the Royal Arms; these date from Charles II and were probably once over the Chancel Arch in the Nave. The hatchment over the tower arch is a memorial to the Tucker family of Coryton Park. The present Lady Chapel (1958) was the Tucker Chapel, hence the coat of arms in the window. An extension to the Churchyard and a Millennium Memorial Garden were consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Exeter on 23 July 2000; to mark the third Millennium, the school children of Kilmington Primary School planted an Oak tree in the Churchyard extension on 26 October 2000, and a Yew tree supplied by the Conservation Society was also planted there. The North Door porch with long awaited toilet facilities was built in 2006/7 which, together with kitchen facilities fitted at the rear of the Church, cost over £90,000; they were dedicated by the Bishop of Crediton on Sunday 4 March 2007.
It is not known precisely when St Giles was adopted Patron Saint (records indicate that it was before 1587) but the picture of him in the Lancet window on the north side of the altar shows him comforting a hind.
