Founded with her sister Ada the 'Young Men's Evening Institute' in Towcester;
"In 1903 some private houses on the corner of Brackley Road and Park Street were demolished and a handsome stone building, with brick dressings and a slate roof, was built as a Young Men's Evening Institute by Miss Charlotte and Miss Ada Phipps, members of the local brewery family, who lived nearby at Yealm House, 9 Brackley Road. The so-named Studio was built for the benefit of the young men of Towcester, with classes held in Bible Reading, Play Acting, Lino Cutting, Wood Carving, Sports etc. Many young men took part in the Studio activities, which boasted at least one football team. In 1910 some members asked Miss Charlotte Phipps to form a brass band. The two sisters bought instruments and equipment, and by October of that year the Towcester Studio Band was formed, which continues to thrive to this day. In 1932 the building was sold to the Manchester Union of Oddfellows, who put up the datestone. It subsequently became the local Labour Exchange, and now the building is used for a mobile telephone business, Dialect (Direct Line Connections Ltd.)"
