Charlton Kings is now a part of Cheltenham District or Borough in Gloucestershire, England where the area constitutes a civil parish. Prior to the Local Government Act 1972 coming into force on 1 April 1974, it had been an urban district and considered a suburb of the neighbouring Cheltenham. Its population is just over 10,000. The River Chelt enters Charlton Kings from the east. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) and Alice Liddell were regular visitors to a house in Cudnall Street, Charlton Kings. This house was owned by Alice Liddell's grandparents, and the mirror is reported to be in existence which inspired Lewis Carroll to write the story Alice through the Looking Glass.
