Its name is of Old English origin and may mean "Pices' stoc ("dependent settlement")".[1] Situated in an isolated rural area, it was an outlying township of the manor, and later parish, of Edgmond.[2] Pickstock is south-east of the village of Sambrook and the River Meese (where there was once a watermill) runs nearby. The Pickstock Cross, the stump of an old preaching cross of unknown age, lies in a private garden in the village.[3] See also
