The Charterhouse, Coventry, Carthusian monastery in Coventry, England.

The Grade I listed Charterhouse features medieval architecture with timber framing, original doors, and windows dating from the 18th century along its northern side.

Founded in 1381 as the Charterhouse of St Anne, the monastery continued its religious functions until the Dissolution of Monasteries in the 16th century.

The interior walls display a collection of preserved 15th and 16th-century paintings that represent medieval religious and artistic traditions in England.

Located on London Road in Coventry, the Charterhouse opened to public visits in April 2023 after extensive restoration works by the Historic Coventry Trust.

The site includes a medieval red sandstone precinct wall that marks the original monastery boundaries and holds a Grade II* listing status.
