The Hiltons of Swine belonged to a cadet branch of the baronial family of Hilton, and are known to have settled in Holderness by the early 13th century. One local historian has described them as being ‘hardly less powerful and magnificent than the stately tree from which [they] sprang’; and they certainly exercised considerable influence in the East Riding.

The Hiltons, who were lords of this manor, boast a very remote antiquity, tracing their descent from Adam de Hilton, who lived in the time of King Athelstan; this, at least, is according to a manuscript volume of Dr. Burton's, in the library of Burton Constable. Surtees, in his History of Durham, gives an account of this family. (1.) Wide Ridl. Ped. p. 315; Burton's East-Riding ped. vol 8, p, 124. (2.)
