Charlton, a quiet corner of Somerset, holds a particular charm. It lies 2.7 km south-east of Midsomer Norton (from Midsomer Norton: bearing 136°T, OS grid ST 682 522), and is situated west of Kilmersdon village. The land here, sloping gently towards the south-east, possesses a quality of light that catches the ancient stone of its few dwellings, lending them a warm, honeyed hue in the late afternoon sun. The air, often carrying the faint scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, speaks of a continuity with the agricultural rhythms of the surrounding countryside. Charlton’s modest presence, away from the main thoroughfares, allows for a contemplative stillness, where the rustle of leaves in the hedgerows can seem a significant event.
