History

The name "Charlton" means 'Free peasants farm/settlement', the "Abbots" part being from the fact that it was held by Winchcombe Abbey.[3] Charlton Abbots was recorded in the Domesday Book as Cerletone.[4] On 25 March 1883 part of Winchcombe parish was transferred to Charlton Abbots.[5] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Sudeley Manor and part of Sevenhampton to form Sudeley.[6]
