All Saints'

The parish of Charlton All Saints is at the eastern end of the beautiful Chalke Valley Benefice. We aim to be warm and welcoming to all. We have church services twice a month. On the second Sunday at 9.30am we hold Morning Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer and on the fourth Sunday at 9.30am we hold a Communion Service from Common Worship. 

All Saints' Church is open daily from around 9am to 5pm. We welcome people of all faiths and those of none. The Church is the heart of our community and is available for everyone. Do drop in for a few moments of peace and reflection in your busy day.

We are a small village (population of 221 in 2021) with a strong community and hold a number of annual village events. Watch out for the Progressive Supper, Quiz Night, Eco Picnic & Nature Count, Village BBQ, Ride & Stride, Harvest Supper, Bonfire Bash, Christmas Tree Festival and Downton Band Concert.

We are proud to have joined the Eco Church Project, and we received our Bronze Award at the end of May 2024.

We look forward to meeting you!
