Charterhouse, Kingston upon Hull, Grade I listed monastery in Kingston upon Hull, England

The Charterhouse features traditional almshouse accommodation with private gardens and an 18th-century chapel within Grade I listed structures near Hull city center.

Michael de la Pole founded this religious institution in 1384, which later transformed from a Carthusian monastery into residential accommodations during the English Reformation.

The poet Andrew Marvell spent his early years at this location during the 17th century when his father served as Master of the Charterhouse.

The facility provides independent living spaces for 40 residents aged 60 and over, with each unit having its own entrance and access to support services.

Five trustees nominated by Hull City Council participate in the administration of this centuries-old institution, maintaining local governance involvement.
