Charlton Horethorne
Charlton Horethorne is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated 5 miles (8 km) south-west of Wincanton and 5 miles (8 km) north-east of Sherborne in the neighbouring county of Dorset. The village has a population of 591. The parish also includes Stowell.
The village lies on the Monarch's Way long-distance footpath that approximates the escape route taken by King Charles II in 1651 after being defeated in the Battle of Worcester.
Charlton Horethorne in the 21st century is a village with successful businesses, a primary school and a village hall that was purchased in 1923 from the Army as a memorial to the fallen in the First World War. Despite its age and the fact that it was previously used as a wooden mess hall, it is used on a frequent and regular basis by a wide range of groups and activities.
The village benefits from the presence of The Village Shop and a pub called The Kings Arms that offers food and accommodation.
