History
Carleton Forehoe's name is of Anglo-Saxon and Viking origin and derives from an amalgamation of the Old English and Old Norse for a settlement of free men close to four earthen mounds.

In the Domesday Book, Carleton Forehoe was recorded Carletuna/Karletuna with 40 households and the principal village in the hundred of Forehoe. The land of the village was divided between King William, Alan of Brittany and St Benet's Abbey.

On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Kimberley.
