In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Carlton like this:

The property is divided among a few. Part of the land is common. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Ely. Value, £287.* Patrons, the Trustees of the Rev. W. S. P. Wilder. The church is old but good; and has a monument of Sir T. Elliot, author of a Latin Dictionary and other works. There is a Primitive Methodist chapel.
