Get Carterton Pro’s

Carterton is the second biggest town in West Oxfordshire. It’s roughly 2 miles (3 km) south of the A40 road and four miles (6.4 km) south-west of Witney. The 2011 Census recorded the parish’s population as 15769. The pattern of the present settlement dates from 1894 when part of the estate was sold to Homesteads Limited whose director was William Carter. The land was split into plots of six acres and sold for £20 an acre with bungalows costing from £120. Numerous settlers were retired soldiers and people moving from the towns. Carterton quickly made its name in the market gardening world. Black grapes from Frenchester Nurseries plus the popular Carterton tomatoes were sold at Covent Garden Market. With the development of the village, the small mission church at the central crossroads was replaced in 1963 by the church of St. John the Evangelist. The link with the mother church of St. Mary’s at Black Bourton was kept alive by the donation of one of the bells from the tower. This was made by H. Knight of Reading and is dated 1619. During the initial decade of the twenty-first century, the new Shilton Park district of northeast Carterton was built, offering a mix of housing for private ownership and social letting. The new St. John’s Church of England primary school has been constructed at Shilton Park and construction of a local shopping centre is now finished. There are quite a few shops, 3 supermarkets and auto parking inside the town centre. The Countryside Agency has awarded Carterton Beacon Status for the work that the Fast Forward team is undertaking on the regeneration of the town centre.
