During the English Reformation Edward VI's injunctions of 1547 instructed that rood screens and lofts be removed from all churches in England and Wales.

Charlton's screen and loft survived these injunctions, and in the 20th century the critic Jennifer Sherwood judged them "the finest and most complete in the county".

[5] A tradition of garlanding the rood cross with flowers and box greenery on May Day and carrying it in procession around the parish also survived the Reformation and continues in modern times.

[3] In 1846 the Gothic Revival architect GE Street re-roofed the church and restored the north wall.

[8] In the 19th century the Bagley bell survived for a long time with a fracture, but in 1895 its tongue and head fell out.

[8] St Mary's church clock is of unknown date but appears to be late 17th century.

[9] Two of the wheels of the going train are characteristic of the work of the clockmaker and bellfounder Edward Hemins of Bicester, which would make them an early-18th-century alteration.

The rioters achieved their aim, and the villagers continued to farm a four-field open field system.

[14] The company continues to provide Charlton-on-Otmoor and neighbouring villages with a service to Oxford via Islip.

The 1923 Grouping made the L&NWR part of the new London, Midland and Scottish Railway, which closed Charlton Halt in 1926.

The LMS was nationalised as part of British Railways in 1948, which ended passenger services in 1967 and reduced the line to single track.

Oxfordshire County Council arranged for British Rail to reopen the line in 1987 and Islip station in 1988.
