| Location: | Situated 3 miles from the town of Guildford, Charterhouse School is set in more than 230 acres in the heart of Surry countryside. The original school was founded by Thomas Sutton in 1611 on the site of the Carthusian monastery near Smithfield. The school was moved to this 232 acre site in 1872, built in mellow Bargate stone. The Chapel of 1927 was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott as the largest war memorial in England. The more recent developments such as the new Boarding Houses, the Ben Travers theatre and the Ralph Vaughan Williams Music centre are a modern contrast to the dramatic Victorian Gothic of the old School. The School is home to 700 boys and Sixth Form girls and is recognised as one of the leading public schools in Britain. |
