Coventry Charterhouse
Heritage Open Day: Charterhouse is a medieval monastic house connected by acres of green space to Coventry’s bustling urban community. A medieval monastic house surrounded by acres of tranquil green space. Home to some of the finest examples of medieval and renaissance art in England. This Grade I listed, 14th century building has quite the story to share. Founded in 1381, Coventry Charterhouse has served many different purposes. From a 14th century monastery to a family home and later as a garden that produced exotic fruit for wealthy locals. Former notable inhabitants include Robert Dudley, famous favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, and John Whittingham who cultivated the nursery and walled garden for food production.
In more recent years, the house has a whole new tale to tell, with tenacious members of the community coming together to save the building from sale and possible demolition. Visitors can follow a trail of the archaeological work that took place at Charterhouse in 2020.
