Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Charlton Castle was a fortified manor house situated in Shropshire between Shrewsbury and Telford (Grid reference Script error: No such module "Ordnance Survey coordinates".).
Sir John Charlton was licensed to crenellate his dwelling at Charlton in 1316. This defended manor house was known as Charlton Castle, and was apparently still used as a residence of the Lords of Powys in the earlier part of the 16th century. In 1588 it was sold to Francis Newport but then fell into disrepair.
The site is on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register due to being very overgrown.[1]
