GV II

Almshouses, built as part of Sutton's Hospital in Charterhouse, 1826-40. By Edward Blore, and probably also Pilkington, Surveyor to the Charterhouse. Yellow brick in Flemish bond, with stone dressings, roof of Welsh slate. Two and three storeys, external south range of fourteen windows. The buildings originally consisted of the quadrangle to the north, and an open quadrangle to the south of similar depth, the east wing of which connected to the north range of Master's Court; these wings were shortened, after bombing, in the 1950s restoration of the Charterhouse by Seely and Paget, and are now of four-window range to the east and three-window range to the west. The south range has a slightly projecting entrance bay of three-window range, with two windows to the west of it, and nine windows to the east; segmental-arched carriage entrance; the ground floor originally an open arcade of five-centred arches but now blocked; first-floor windows flat-arched with chamfered mullions and hoodmoulds, three-light over the carriage arch, the rest two-light; moulded storey band; embattled parapet; octagonal embattled tower to entrance bay; octagonal corniced chimney shafts. Wings of three storeys, that to the east with an arcade of five-centred arches forming a cloister to ground floor; first- and second-floor windows flat-arched with two lights under hoodmoulds; storey bands; embattled parapet and octagonal chimney shafts; the west wing is similar but with a Tudor-arched doorway and flat-arched two-light windows to ground floor in place of arcade. In the north quadrangle, the south range is detailed as for its south side but it is of nine-window range with a central entrance; the west, north and east ranges appear to have had nine Tudor-arched entrances originally, that to the south-east corner now a window; this would give a double-fronted arrangement to each house, with flat-arched two-light windows under hoodmoulds to both floors; broad Tudor-arched carriage entrance to east and west range, matching that to south, narrow Tudor-arched passage entrance to north range, all three with panelled doors; moulded eaves rafters; stacks to ridge, the shafts gathered in groups of four with chamfered brickwork, brick cornice and stone coping. Two-storey, four-window range to north and west of north range, more simply detailed, known as Stable Court. (Information from the Master of Charterhouse, 1990.).
