The Charterhouse

It really does feel that time has stood still in the Charterhouse, though they've modernized in many ways.

More rooms for the brothers and an infirmary are here. They've recently built a modern building of flats for the brothers on the southwest side of the court.

Some of the brothers live in rooms around the court.

The Charterhouse

The Charterhouse

This part of the Charterhouse dates back to the Carthusian priory that stood here before the dissolution of the monasteries. Brother Duncan showed us a remaining door to what would have been a monk's cell. During the time that the Charterhouse School was here, the lads played football in the cloister and invented the "loose" off-side rule (whatever that is). The cloister is often used in filming of movies and tv programmes.

One of the bits that was being cleaned and restored.

This plaque was commissioned to commemorate 400 years (1611 to 2011) of the Charterhouse.
