Stunning pink and lilac skies briefly appeared over the Charterhouse earlier this week as the sun went down, no filters or special effects needed!

We are celebrating the joys of gardening and gardens during #NationalGardeningWeek! This is our Handkerchief Tree, also known as a Dove or Ghost Tree, with its stunning white flowers fluttering in the breeze in Norfolk Gardens. 🕊️
The walls of the Charterhouse create a sheltered micro-climate which helps our plants to thrive. Of course our Garden team also work hard all year round to create a healthy and biodiverse environment for them as well. Along with our residents and visitors, we get to enjoy the results! 🌼

The bulbs planted in November last year produced a stunning display of yellow tulips and narcissus 🌼
Bluebells and white star flower will be out next! ❀

We are fortunate to have four rare water maps in our collection dating from c.1431 to c.1625. 📜 These fascinating manuscripts show the water system that supplied the monastery from springs to the north. The oldest dates back to 1431, and is now back in our museum gallery after 4 years 'resting'. Conservators Ann-Marie Miller and Ann Tang from Codex Conservation have been carrying out conservation work and here they are carefully wrapping the map to move it safely.
👉 Do come and have a look when you visit next time!
