Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Charterhouse Square, London. The Charterhouse buildings reflect five principal building periods. The first is the building of the Carthusian Priory of the Salutation of the Virgin Mary, founded by Sir Walter Manny in 1371; the early buildings of the Priory are attributed to Henry Yevele. The second is the transformation of the monastic buildings into a Tudor mansion, following the suppression of the Priory in 1537; this happened in two stages, first and principally under the hand of Sir Edward North, from 1545, and secondly under that of Thomas Howard, fourth Duke of Norfolk, from 1565. The third is the adaptation of the mansion to the purposes of the Hospital of King James in Charterhouse, generally known as Sutton's Hospital, founded in 1611 by Thomas Sutton, partly as a free school for forty boys and partly as almshouses for eighty male pensioners; these works were carried out in 1613-14 and were to the design of Francis Carter; the almshouses continue to this day. The fourth stage consists of alterations to the existing buildings and the addition of Preachers' Court and Pensioners' Court by Edward Blore in 1826-40; Preachers' Court was largely demolished after the Second World War; The fifth stage was the reconstruction of the buildings following bomb damage of 1941 when all four sides of Master's Court were burned out, the great staircase was destroyed and the Great Hall and Great Chamber were badly damaged. The reconstruction was carried out by Seely and Paget, architects, and ended in 1959 |
