Charterhouse

One of the country’s great public schools, founded in 1611, Charterhouse has now been on its current site for 150 years, having moved away from insalubrious surroundings in London in 1872 to new greener surroundings on the outskirts of Godalming. Guided tours will include architectural gems such as the historic South African Cloister (architect W.D. Caroe), Memorial Chapel (designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott), the Main Hall (Sir Arthur Blomfield), the Library and Scholars’ Court (Philip Hardwick).
