Zusammenfassung:The Charterhouse is one of London's great survivals. It was established as a Carthusian monastery in 1371 on a site next to a Black Death burial ground, and over the centuries it has served as private house, a boys' school and since 1611 as an almshouse, which it remains to this day. This major publication celebrates Charterhouse's reopening as a museum in 2016. It 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
