Charlton is a hamlet in the far south-west of Middlesex, squashed against the eastern edge of the Queen Mary Reservoir, to the north of Shepperton. To the south-west, south of the reservoir, is Littletonand to the south the M3 motorway slices through unheeding the hamlet it curtails.
As a well-developed hamlet, once bounded by farms, it also referred to as a village. Its church parish is Sunbury-on-Thames. In the south of the neighbourhood, on the Shepperton side of the motorway are a general waste transfer station, further fields and Sunbury Golf Course, which has 18 holes and is bisected by the Shepperton railway line.
History
Charlton appears in Domesday Book as Cerdentone. It was held by Roger de Rames. Its Domesday assets were: 5 hides; 1½ ploughs (with potential for 3½), meadow for 4 ploughs, cattle pasture. It rendered £1 10s 0d.[1] However this manor was in the parish of Sunbury and unlike the three adjoining manors, Shepperton, Halliford and Sunbury did not reach down to the river public meadowlands, used for grazing of animals.[2]
