[MR] English Heritage: The Carthusians in England

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

While searching on the English Heritage web site for another project, I ran
across several interesting illustrated articles about the Carthusian Order
in England. The Carthusians were a major force in medieval Religious life
in England, and had nine important houses. The Carthusians led the
opposition to Henry VIII's divorce and Act of Supremacy, and their downfall
was quick and particularly brutal.

The main article is found at

.

Another interesting article details how the Carthusian monks led their
severe lives of prayer and devotion:
