St John's, Charlton
St John's now stands beside the main Shaftesbury to Salisbury road, where its twin towers are clearly
visible to travellers as they pass. Until the mid 19th century, it stood about a quarter-mile
to the south, amongst the houses of the village itself. However, it needed a lot of repair and the
decision was taken to remove it up the hill, away from the dwellings to near the new Victorian
village school. There is one bell, cast in 1839, with the note of C#. It bears the inscription "W JEFFERIES FECIT BRISTOL 1839".
