Charlton Listed Buildings Cherry Orchard Cottage, Lavender Cottage and Walnut Cottage make up a group of three 17th century timber framed cottages located on Top Street. The church of St. John The Evangelist, in Ryden Lane. Originally an old stone barn, converted and adopted as a church in 1872. The stump of the former west bellcote can be seen above the current round clock, however, it was removed in 1998 during restoration work as the weight was forcing the supporting walls apart.
