Charterhouse School, a historic boarding school in Surrey, England, UK. Statue of the founder Thomas Sutton in front of the school and Founders Court.
Charterhouse School is one of the original Great Nine English public schools. It was originally housed in an old Carthusian monastery, from which the name Charterhouse derives. In 1872, the school moved from London to its present site near Godalming in Surrey. The Victorian Gothic buildings around Founders Court were designed by the architect Hardwick and built out of local Bargate Sandstone from quarries around the School grounds. To the north of Founder's Court is Saunderites, one of the original boarding houses. The tower which houses a water tower stands prominently above Gownboys boarding house. The old chapel is on the south side of the court. The statue of founder Thomas Sutton (by Goscombe John) was erected in 1911.
