A chapel is said to have been built by Sir John Popham with the consent of the Prior of Breamore, and was dedicated in 1404.[4] The chapel was in ruins by the mid 18th-century when Thomas Archer made use of the material for enlarging and rebuilding of the church of Hale.[4] The site is in a field near South Charford Farm,[4] and is now occupied by a large yew tree.[5]
South Charford was long a separate parish, although for a period in the early 19th-century it was reckoned as a tithing of the parish of North Charford.[4] The population of South Charford in 1870 was 70 people living in 13 houses.[6] The civil parish of South Charford was abolished in 1932,[7] and South Charford is now part of the civil parish of Breamore. There is no village today — just a few farm buildings.
