The Carthusians were the most boot-camp of the medieval monastic orders and the feast of their founder St Bruno on 6 October provides the perfect timing and opportunity to explore the origins and significance of this especially austere vision of monasticism.
Although never large in number, the Carthusians gained a reputation for holiness, purity and rigour, no more so than at Mount Grace Priory, North Yorkshire. The best-preserved Carthusian monastery, or Charterhouse, in England, the history and buildings of Mount Grace provide fascinating insights into the Carthusians’ solitary way of life and wider influence.
