Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Great Chamber or Old Governor's Room of the London Charterhouse. Pen and ink drawing by Charles Raymond Booth Barrett.

"This is a singularly handsome room, though it is to be deplored that but little of the original heraldic ceiling remains — that little is to be found in the recess. The main ceiling was restored by Blore. A very fine example of a painted fireplace (possibly portions of two fireplaces pieced together) occupies the centre of one wall. The tapestries are remarkably good. (iAs a room this may be held in the main to date from the time of Elizabeth, and was decorated by the Duke of Norfolk. In the reign of Charles I. the fireplace was restored ; the arms and initials of the King, and those of Sutton and his initials, T.S, being added.

The name of the restorer was Rowland Buckett."
