History

Poulton was listed as Poltone in the Domesday Book of 1086.

There was a parish church at Poulton by at least 1337, when the lord of the manor, Sir Thomas Seymour, endowed it with a chantry. In 1348, Seymour built what became the Priory of St Mary. From 1539, with the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the priory was used as Poulton's parish church. It was demolished in 1873. The current parish church, dedicated to St Michael and All Angels, was built in 1873 by William Butterfield.

Poulton is part of the Hampton ward of the Cotswold district, currently represented by Councillor Lisa Spivey, a member of the Liberal Democrats. Poulton is part of the constituency of North Cotswolds, currently represented at parliament by Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Geoffrey Clifton-Brown. It was part of the South West England constituency of the European Parliament prior to Britain leaving the European Union in January 2020.
