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