CHARLTON, HERTFORDSHIRE

'Charlton' is a village in Hertfordshire which has steadily been approached by the neighbouring town of Hitchin. But, despite Hitchin's growth, Charlton has retained its own identity. Home to a little fewer than fifty people, the village is unremarkable save for its pub 'The Windmill', placed where no windmill ever stood.
Charlton is the birthplace of inventor Henry Bessemer [1]
