Charlton Castle

Charlton

The modern day settlement of Charlton shows few obvious traces of the prominent position it once enjoyed in the east Shropshire community. Yet, in a field on the edge of the village, the ruins of a fortified, moated manor house, built by a distinguished 14th Century knight who served at the court of an English monarch, provide enduring evidence of the former importance of this secluded site.
