HAVPCD142 – Christmas at Charterhouse

Charterhouse owes its name to the site of a Carthusian Monastery in London where, in 1611, Thomas Sutton established a school for boys and an almshouse. By 1872 the school had outgrown its London home and moved to a new site in Godalming, Surrey, where it has grown to its present size of 700, including 70 sixth-form girls. From earliest times the Chapel has formed a focal point within the School, which has also reflected a strong choral tradition.
