WELCOME to THE CHARLTONS
Charlton Mackrell and Charlton Adam in Somerset, England
Charlton Mackrell is an ecclesiastical parish, but also now the name of the civil parish which includes the ecclesiastical parish of Charlton Adam - hence "The Charltons".
The parish has also been known as West Charlton and East Charlton and includes the outlying hamlets of Welham (beyond West Charlton), Lytes Cary and Cooks Cary, and Cary Fitzpaine (east of the A37 Fosse Way).
Over the centuries, many men and women from The Charltons have emigrated to all corners of the globe, but perhaps The Charltons are best-known as an ancestral home of several US Presidents and other notable Americans.
The sound of the Charlton Adam church bells rang out again at Christmas! There will be a service to re-dedicate the church bells on Friday 22nd May 2009 at 11.00 |
