Charlton House, Wraxall

Charlton House is a historic building in Wraxall, Somerset, England.

[1] The original building dates from the late mediaeval period, however it was altered in the early to mid 17th century and further extended between 1877 and 1884.

His son, Thomas Kington (1796-1857) owned plantations in the West Indies; he received £15,338 for 1342 enslaved people when slavery was abolished across the British Empire in 1834.

The large overmantel is decorated with the figures of kings and women representing Charity and Justice.

[10] The house was part of the Tyntesfield estate; the associated Charlton Farm was sold in 2002 and is now a residential centre of Children's Hospice South West.
