The village was originally simply Charlton, recorded in 1291 as Cherleton. It was an estate of Keynsham Abbey until the Dissolution, and the prefix was added when the estate was given by Henry VIII to Queen Catherine Parr.
The Church of St Margaret dates from the 12th century. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building. There is a late medieval cross on the village green.
