Publisher's Synopsis
Celebrating the Charterhouse's reopening as a museum, this souvenir volume includes a series of illustrated essays on the archaeology, history, landscape, environment and architecture of the Charterhouse. It follows its story from its foundation as a monastery, dissolution in 1535 and subsequent transformation into a fine Tudor Mansion in the grounds, its establishment as both a school for boys and hospital for elderly men, to its continuing role today as a charity providing care for over 40 Brothers.
