Charlton Adam is a rather shapeless small village that has merged with its near neighbour Charlton Mackrell. The Charlton part of their name comes from ceorl (churl) and charlton is the place where the ceorls lived. A ceorl was a freeman of the lowest rank in Anglo-Saxon England. The road is George St.
