POOR HOUSE and WORK HOUSE

Charlton Mackrell used to have a Poor House, opposite the church.  The Langport Union Work House was in High Ham parish, just south of the main road into Langport.  Further information on both is available here.

 

TRADE DIRECTORIES, ABSENT VOTERS LISTS and ELECTORAL ROLLS

These are other sources of information about the villages and their people.
We can provide information from copies held in the Historical Society's archive and will include details on this website later.

 

 SHOPPING in THE CHARLTONS
  -  a list of some 19th - 20th century shops etc in Adam and Mackrell.

Until recently we had 2 pubs plus 2 shops and a garage, but now there is only one shop (the Post Office in Charlton Adam) and no garage.  Thankfully we still have 2 pubs though - the "Fox & Hounds" in Adam and the "Greyhound" in Mackrell !!
