pilkington is based on winston churchill and franklin delano roosevelt. mr pilkington has a larger but more unkempt farm, and is on bad terms with mr frederick of pinchfield farm. frederick's farm is adjacent to animal farm on the opposite side, to which animal farm acts as a buffer zone, sandwiched between pinchfield and foxwood. frederick is in ways the antithesis of pilkington; he is comparatively poorer and has less land than pilkington; however pinchfield is more efficiently run and more productive than foxwood. despite the bickering between frederick and pilkington, there are two factors both respectfully agree upon: they are frightened of the animal revolution that deposed mr jones, the original owner, fearing that their own animals may stage similar revolutions on their farmsteads, and both continue to call "animal farm" by its original name of "manor farm", as they believe the name "animal farm" is an unofficial endorsement of the animal revolution. mr pilkington at first offered to buy napoleon's pile of surplus timber, but the timber is also sought after by mr. frederick, which napoleon instigates the trade war by spreading messages of "death to pilkington". napoleon plays both sides by feigning friendship with pilkington to get frederick to pay a higher price for the timber. through napoleon's human aide mr. whymper, napoleon furiously learns that frederick got the timber for free as he paid in counterfeit money. napoleon orders the slogan "death to pilkington" changed to "death to frederick". immediately after the bum deal, frederick and his men invade animal farm, killing many animals and ultimately destroying the windmill with blasting powder. napoleon parlays his new "death to frederick" slogan into an attempt to rebuild relations with pilkington by sending a message for aid against a common enemy, but this proves too little too late as the "death to pilkington" slogans are recent memory, and napoleon gets a sole response from pilkington which reads "serves you right".
