Facilities
The village has one pub, The Gate Hangs Well,[4] situated at the eastern end of Carlton. This pub now features a cafe and restaurant called Seasons, and is privately owned. The village is in Leicestershire, but the post office mail is delivered from Nuneaton, so Carlton's Post office address is Carlton, Nuneaton, CV13. The Parish is also crossed by the Leicestershire round circular paths, a 100-mile circular walk around the county connecting many places of historical and geographical interest.[5] Therefore, the parish council works closely with the Carlton footpath group and the county council.
St Andrews Church
St Andrews today is a small pretty church situated in the centre of Carlton restored after it was burnt down in 1764 with a mixture of both stone and brick and was dedicated to St Michael[6] Then in 1867 another restoration took place undertaken buy Goddard and Son.[7] The restoration involved both altering the windows and adding a saddleback top to the tower.. The building was Gothicised and its dedication was then changed to St Andrew. In the Northern Wall of the nave there is a stained glass window picturing the angels Michael and Gabriel created in the 1920s by Theadora Salusbury. In 1937 the clock tower was bought through the efforts of the rector's daughter selling needle work door to door, and this needlework continues as some of the villagers produced some commemorative pieces in order to celebrate the Millennium.[7]
History of Carlton
The village's name means 'farm/settlement of the free peasants'.[8]
There is no mention of the parish in the doomsday book so it is likely a Norman settlement[7] However the first Civil registration occurred in 1837, with the parish being registered in the Market Bosworth Sub-District.[9] and from then Carlton was described as a chapelry in Market-Bosworth parish, Leicester; on the Ashby-de-la-Zouch canal.[10]
In 1847, saw the Carltons first Public elementary school to be built, intending to educate 49 children[9] other facilities were also built or revived including the St Andrews church, a Manor house in 1881 and the diamond jubilee orchard.
The population itself according to recent Census data has stayed relatively the same apart from dropping below 200 between 1901s data and 1961, and hitting a lowest of 170 in 1921, with the number of Males dropping to 84.[11] Memorials of those who died in the war can be seen in St Andrew's church.
Local Businesses
Apart from one pub, the main businesses are based in Market Bosworth, and other areas of Nuneaton[12] which are still accessible from the Parish. There is a small commercial estate located behind Church Cottage, which includes businesses such as AR Demolition.
