Charlton All Saints has existed as a settlement since Saxon times. By 1208, Charlton was a tithing of the parish of Downton. In the 14th century it was a prosperous farming community, highly assessed for taxation. In 1851, the Charlton and Witherington tithings were united to form an ecclesiastical parish, which then had considerable secular duties.
In 1897, after the creation of civil parishes, this ecclesiastical parish was united with Standlynch to form the civil parish of Standlynch with Charlton All Saints.
The village of Charlton All Saints now has a population of around 450. There are several traditional thatched cottages, of which a few are from the 17th century, and the majority mid-18th century. Charlton House, at the junction of Warrens Lane and Lower Road, has a granary and a barn from the late 18th century.
The Anglican church, dedicated to All Saints, was built in 1851 partly at the expense of Lord Nelson (1823-1913), great-nephew of the Admiral and owner of the Trafalgar estate on the other side of the River Avon (Hampshire).
