The foundation stone of the Queens Sports Centre was laid by Mr Richard Thornton, Lord Lieutenant of Surrey and Chairman of the Governing Body (1981-1989). The building was completed in 1995 and officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 21 February 1997.

It houses a main hall, swimming pool, climbing tower, fitness suites, activity rooms, changing facilities and cafe. It stands surrounded by several Astroturf all-weather Hockey pitches, which were inaugurated in 2012; the site was originally a 19th-century cricket pitch known as Cattley's Level, in honour of the owner of Northbrook House, Wildman Cattley.

Daviesites, along with several other boarding houses along Queen's Drive, were designed by Richard Gilbert Scott and opened in 1974.

Northbrook (and its neighbour, New Saunderites) were designed and built by Feltham Construction Ltd to provide additional boarding facilities, enabling Charterhouse to become fully coeducational. Formally opened by Jeremy Hunt MP in October 2021.

Fletcherites opened as a day house in 2010; this building was originally the manor house for the Northbrook estate, purchased by the School in 1924. Over the years, it has housed the Headmaster, Bursar and the old medical centre. The facade facing South was built in c.1800 whilst the back, the oldest part of the building, is Queen Anne Dutch style from the late 17thC.

Let's highlight some of our exceptional sports pitches.

Lessington Farm was acquired by the School in 1896. None of the farm buildings survive, but the name Lessington continues as a football ground.

Charterhouse is proud of its role in the history of Association Football. The School was an inaugural member of the Football Association and was influential in developing the FA rules. The School 1st XI plays on Big Ground. In 2008, this was the scene of a great triumph when the School won the Independent Schools Football Association Cup for the first time in the final against Millfield.

Undergreen is our 10 acre field which was bought in 1887, the name originating from the Old Charterhouse. Today this pitch is used mainly for Cricket, with some football during the football season.

Ben Travers was a famous Old Carthusian playwright. He unveiled the foundation stone on OC day in 1980. The theatre was designed by Richard Gilbert Scott and was built within a small quarry that contained an icehouse for the Northbrook estate. The first production in the new theatre was Thark (by Ben Travers) in January 1984.

This fine edifice is the largest War Memorial in the country and records the names of 687 OCs who perished in the First World War and a further 340 names of those who died in the Second World War. The Chapel foundation stone was laid on 17th June 1922 by Randall, Archbishop of Canterbury, and was consecrated on 18th June 1927.

The architect was Sir Giles Gilbert Scott - famous for Liverpool Cathedral, the red phone box (one stands next to the Modern Language Centre) and the South Bank Power Station (now Tate Modern).

The Hall was added in 1884, designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield during the height of the Romantic Gothic revival.

Our next stop - Scholars' Court

This cloistered area allowed pupils in the early days to move under cover between all the original school buildings. In the middle of the cloisters is a Venetian marble well-head presented to the School in 1958 as a memorial to JFM Prinsep, who played football for England and was a member of the winning Old Carthusian FA Cup team in 1881.

12/09/2023

Our second stop on The Heritage Tour - The South African Cloisters

The South African memorial (designed by W.D.Caroe) commemorates those Old Carthusians who died in the Boer war and particularly in the defence of Mafeking under the leadership of Robert Baden-Powell; he became a national hero and went and found the Boy Scout movement. There are also many plaques in memory of Beacks (teachers) and Carthusians, including two notable mountaineers, George Mallory and Wilfred Noyce.

The first stop on The Heritage Tour - Founder's Court

A statue of Thomas Sutton, the founder, graces the front of the school. It was erected in 1911 to commemorate the Tercentenary of the foundation. In 1872, the School moved from London to its present site. In those early days, the school would have been approached along Pepperharrow Road and then up Racquets Court Hill and visitors would have caught this as their first glimpse. These gothic buildings were designed by the architect P.C. Hardwick and built out of local Bargate Sandstone from quarries around the school grounds.

Over the coming months, we'd like to get you acquainted with Charterhouse School's heritage, so we welcome you to The Heritage Tour!
