Visit Hull’s Charterhouse
Heritage Open Day: This is a guided tour round the ancient Charterhouse, founded in 1384 by Sir Michael de la Pole as an alms house for the elderly. Founded by Sir Michael de la Pole in 1384 as an Almshouse for the elderly, the Charterhouse continues to house over 60’s with a connection to Hull. The present building to the north of Charthouse Lane dates from 1780 and has a handsome domed entrance and an impressive cupola with Bell above the fine Georgian era chapel inside.
To the south is the Master’s House which, despite severe war damage, essentially dates back to 1660. Its complete exterior can best be appreciated from the rear where you will also find a peaceful walled garden.
