Chalton became the centre of media attention in 2010 when, in a breakthrough case, a local woman was acquitted of keeping a brothel.[4][5]
Trivia
During the second world war a German bomber jettisoned a stick of bombs in Chalton, which fell on Carters hill and on the fields between the village and The Bound Way. All the bombs exploded but did no damage.
