Some information about the inhabitants of The Charltons from the 1911 CENSUS

On Village Day 2011, the Historical Society contributed a display of old photos of the village school and of other houses and industrial structures in the parish.
 The school pictures are now in a  GALLERY  and others will be added to the website. The "odd one out" was the original Tout farmhouse, now demolished.
Visitors were challenged to identify the members of  a Charlton Mackrell Cricket Club Team  -  but only one possible name was suggested -  can you help?
