Charlton is a village near Newbottle in Northamptonshire, sitting between Brackley and Kings Sutton, close to a small tributary of the River Cherwell.
The remains of an Iron Age fort, Rainsborough Camp, lie just to the south of the village.[1]
The lawyer and politician F.E. Smith, 1st Earl of Birkenhead lived on Main Street in the village, in a house called The Cottage.[2] He took as his second peerage title Viscount Furneaux of Charlton, and his ashes are buried in the village cemetery.[3]
