Castle Carlton is a hamlet and former civil parish, now in the parish of Reston, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is approximately 5 miles (8 km) south of Louth, and just north of the A157 road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 23.[1] On 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished and merged with South Reston.[2]
At Castle Carlton, there is a wide moat surrounding a mound on which stood a twelfth-century motte and bailey castle, most likely wooden, founded by Justiciar Hugh Bardolph,[3] who is said to have slain a monster.[4]
The village had established itself as a commercial centre by the thirteenth century, reputedly after Hugh Bardolph developed it as a "new town", and it was sometimes known as Market Carlton.[5] Today, it is considered a deserted medieval village, or DMV.[6]
The church was dedicated to the Holy Cross and was a small Perpendicular building. It was demolished in 1902.[7]
