St Hilary has a population of around 260 living in approximately 80 houses. There is a 12th century church, active village hall and historic pub. There is a cobweb of narrow lanes and roads linking all parts of the village. The village is situated two miles east of Cowbridge which is an attractive market town.
In times past there was a thriving rural community that supported a school, post office and various trades. The resident population is now more diverse with a combination of farmers, young families with commuting parents, professional people and retired couples. In 1999 only two of St Hilary’s adult residents had been born in the parish and only one of those had lived her whole life in St Hilary.
