Carlton itself is a small spread
out community and there are few occasions when we can get together. The
Church Fête and the Horse Show are two such opportunitites and volunteers
for these are always welcome. We hope the above information will be of help
to new villagers. Please contact one of us if we can be of further
assistance.
On behalf of your Parish
Council.
