The Charterhouse of London: Monastery, Palace, and Thomas Sutton's Foundation is a book written by William Frederick Taylor and published in 1912. The book provides a comprehensive account of the history of the Charterhouse, a complex of buildings located in London that has served various purposes over the centuries.The Charterhouse was originally a Carthusian monastery founded in the 14th century, but it was dissolved during the Reformation and later became a private mansion for wealthy aristocrats. In the 17th century, the building was transformed into a school for boys, and in the 19th century, it was converted into almshouses for elderly people.The book explores the various phases of the Charterhouse's history and describes the architecture, art, and cultural significance of the building. It also delves into the life of Thomas Sutton, a wealthy merchant who founded the almshouses and left a lasting legacy in the form of the Sutton Trust, a charitable foundation that supports educational initiatives.Overall, The Charterhouse of London provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of one of London's most iconic buildings and the people who have shaped its legacy over the centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
