St. Hugh's Charterhouse, Parkminster, Gothic Revival monastery in Cowfold, England.

The monastery contains individual hermitages connected by a cloister that spans one kilometer, leading to the church and communal buildings.

The Carthusians returned to England in 1873 to establish St Hugh's Charterhouse after Henry VIII had destroyed all monasteries during the Reformation period.

The monastery combines solitary living spaces with communal prayer areas, following the traditional Carthusian monastic principles established in 1084.

The Grade II listed building features a 203-foot spire that marks the location of this religious complex from distant viewpoints.

The monastery houses monks from multiple nationalities who conduct services in both Latin and English within its extensive Gothic Revival structure.
