Haven't heard of it but did a quick google and this is what I came up with:
Firstly, the meaning of the name: the modern name PILCHER derives from the old English word pylace (pilch) meaning an outer garment of skin dressed with hair - a 'Pilcher' therefore being a maker or seller of pilohes.
In early records the name is found as PULLOHARE, PILCHERE,FYLECHERE, PILICHER and often with the prefix 'it' - as with "Reynold isPilechera" (i.e. Reynold the Pilcher) recorded in Sussex in 1292.
Hope this helps!
