The Charterhouse Chapel

The Chapel at the Charterhouse, London. The entrance is through the ante-chapel and this area is the oldest part with the bosses and stone ribs dating from 1512. The first aisle of the Chapel used to be the monk's chapterhouse. In the 17th Century the Chapel was extended with a second aisle and the large monument to Thomas Sutton was added. The seating area to the side was added in 1825 to accommodate schoolboys who were not Foundation Scholars. The Chapel can be visited freely at any time during Charterhouse opening hours.
