On Village Day 2011, the Historical Society contributed a display of old photographs of the village school buildings and of other houses and industrial structures in the parish.
The school pictures are now in a gallery and others will be added to the website soon.  The "odd photo out" was that of the original Tout farmhouse, now demolished.

Visitors were challenged to identify the members of a Charlton Mackrell Cricket Club team photo.
Only one possible name was suggested - please contact us if you can help!


There is now a link to the parish Design Statement
on the "Houses" page.

WW1 LEAFLET AVAILABLE

A summary of the family connections and place/date of death and commemoration for all the casualties of WW1 from both Charlton Adam and Charlton Mackrell who are now named on The Charltons' War Memorial  was placed in both the churches for Remembrance Day 2010.  This leaflet is also available on request by email - please contact us.  We hold further details of the lives and military service of all those named, but would welcome any further information which you may be able to contribute.
