The Charterhouse has been living the nation’s history since 1348. Over that time it has served as a monastery, private mansion, boys school and an almshouse, which it remains to this day.

We are delighted to be open again and running two tours a day from Tuesdays to Saturdays. We are now increasing our tour size so there is more availability. Find out more here.
