Although Bronze Age relics
have been found here, Carterton is one of
England’s newest towns and was only built in the
early 20th century by the entrepreneurial house
builder William Carter after he bought part of a
large estate. During the Second World War it
provided accommodation for personnel from nearby
RAF Brize Norton, now Britain’s largest RAF base
and the area’s largest employer. |
