Carthusian Cache - The Charterhouse, Coventry
The Carthusian Priory of St Anne, or The Charterhouse, is a unique Grade 1 listed building and grounds in Coventry.
The monks who once lived in the priory were of the Carthusian order, and they led a very strict life based on solitude and silence. Each monk lived alone in a cell, which consisted of just two or three small rooms, dressed in the most basic clothing, ate a simple diet, and only met up with other brothers for prayers.
Within the former refectory is a stunning collection of wall paintings, dating from 1417 and the 1570’s, which are of historic and national importance. The earlier monastic painting is only the lower portion of a once large mural and although incomplete, is in remarkable condition and a very rare survivor from this period. The Elizabethan murals are some of the best from the era.

The cache is a small container, originally with 4 Coventry related items for swapping and replaces the Charterhouse cache which was muggled recently.
Please place the cache back carefully out of sight so that it lasts longer 😊
Enjoy...
