The Master’s Court at The Charterhouse
About this space
Step into the historical embrace of The Master's Court, the original entrance courtyard to the Tudor mansion, where the past and present converge in a timeless setting. This courtyard serves as the perfect introduction to your memorable event or filming experience, setting the scene with an air of sophistication and charm.
As you enter, you will be greeted by a meticulously maintained lawn, embellished with a central lamppost that serves as a focal point, enhancing the timeless charm of the courtyard. The stone-flagged pathway encircles the lawn, inviting you to explore the surrounding beauty of the Tudor era.
Gaze up at the splendid windows of the Great Hall, each adorned with stained glass that narrates its own unique story. The gold-encrusted crest of Charles I and the Sutton sundial add a touch of regality to the atmosphere. In the evening, The Master's Court transforms into a magical space, illuminated by the warm glow emanating from the various windows. Lit candles in lanterns further enhance the special ambience, creating an enchanting backdrop for your event.
