Charlwood is a small hamlet in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It is in the large civil parish of Ropley and partially in East Tisted.
Charlwood is first mentioned in 1218 as "Cherlewde". [1] The name means the "Wood of the free peasant" from Old English "ceorl" and "wudu". It is recorded throughout the 13th century in conjunction with the Abbott of Titchfield who owned a wood in that Hamlet. [2]
Little remnants of the medieval past of this hamlet are visible, no official archaeological survey has produced any finds from this period in the area. Nearby Lyeway has however produced a great number of medieval potsherds and related archaeology as it was a notable medieval farm in Ropley
Charlwood House is the oldest building in the hamlet, shown on a 1635 map [3] of the surroundings of Rotherfield Park. On this same map a Brick Kiln and Clay Pit are shown nearby to this House, part of the larger brick making industry centred around Ropley and East Tisted.
In the 1800s the settlement of the hamlet reached its maximum with about 9 plots visible on the 1880s OS map. A methodist chapel was built to the south likely to serve this growing population in the early 1900s, however "its congregation gradually dwindled, and it became derelict and was demolished". [4]
Throughout the 20th century the hamlet decreased more and more in size until reaching its present modern day state consisting of only two properties; Charlwood and Hunswood house.

Mathematical tiles are tiles which were used extensively as a building material in the southeastern counties of England—especially East Sussex and Kent—in the 18th and early 19th centuries. They were laid on the exterior of timber-framed buildings as an alternative to brickwork, which their appearance closely resembled. A distinctive black variety with a glazed surface was used on many buildings in Brighton from about 1760 onwards, and is considered a characteristic feature of the town's early architecture. Although the brick tax (1784–1850) was formerly thought to have encouraged use of mathematical tiles, in fact the tiles were subject to the same tax.
