General
The name Chartridge or Charteridge is thought to have originated in a Saxon personal name Caerda, thus ‘Caerda's ridge’. By the early years of the thirteenth century the names de Charderugge or de Chardrugge appears in charters and other documents recording transfer of land and property. Numerous members of the family are mentioned in records dating from the late twelfth century and these people may have lived or owned land in the area.

Pednor Bottom
A motorcyclist was riding along a quiet road near Pednor Bottom when he noticed a figure who was dressed in black and sitting on a gate. As the motorcyclist approached the figure suddenly leapt off the gate and landed in front of the motorbike. By then it was too late to take avoiding action and the figure was hit full on by the motorbike. The motorcyclist stopped and looked back but there was no one there. He is reported to have said that he had never left a place so fast in his life.
One week later exactly the same thing happened to another motorcyclist.
