view of church exterior in context
Scene Description: maquette of the London Chapterhouse; the church is probably the small building at the upper left end next to the large square cloister, and not prominent at all, for, according to the entry in the VCH [https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/middx/vol1/pp159-169] [accessed 17 May 2019], "The Carthusians, differing from every other order of monks and canons in this, gave no architectural prominence to their churches. The only one to remain in a fair state of preservation, that of Mount Grace (Yorks. N.R.), is even smaller and meaner in exterior appearance than that of the London Charterhouse must have been. The original building was a simple rectangle of 94 by 38 feet, divided internally into presbytery, choir, and a small (25 by 35 ft.) 'body of the church' at the western end, divided from the choir by a wooden screen with two altars against its western face."
