The parish of Chellington contains 1,530 acres, of which 692 are arable land, 614 pasture and grass and 23 woods and plantations.
Chellington village, consisting chiefly of modern cottages, is in the north of the parish; it is little more than a hamlet of Carlton, and is so called in 12789.
The first mention that has been found of Chellington Church is in 12789, when it was attached to the manor and endowed with one messuage, a croft and 3 roods of land.
Chellington, can be documented from around 1242 but does not appear in the Doomsday book of 1086 so it's exact date of appearance is a mystery, as is it's demise.
This is all that is left of the village of Chellington.
In the church, besides the stalls, notice (I) the triple sedilia and piscine with cinquefoiled heads: (2) a good piscine on the N side of the modern chancel arch: and (3) a curious bier in the tower, inscribed and dated 1663.
