Charterhouse Lane
Charterhouse Lane was a narrow road marking the passage between St. John’s Street and one of three gates to the London Charterhouse. The lane began as an alleyway intersecting with St. John’s Street north of Smithfield before broadening as it arched north towards the London Charterhouse. The street earned its name due to its proximity to the London Charterhouse, which housed Carthusian monks prior to the dissolution of London monasteries between 1536 and 1541 (Temple).1 In his Survey of London (1603), John Stow describes Charterhouse Lane only as a passageway to the London Charterhouse, writing
[a] little without the Barres of West Smithfield is Charterhouse lane, so called, for that it leadeth to the said plot of the late dissolved Monastery2(Stow). Indeed, much of Charterhouse Lane’s historical reputation derives from its proximity to the Charterhouse. Little is known about Charterhouse Lane prior to the sixteenth-century, when the Charterhouse became a site of religious controversy. Historical records of Charterhouse Lane proliferate after the 1536 Act of Supremacy, which saw the dissolution of the London Carthusians and the Charterhouse monastery in 1537.
In the wake of dissolution, Charterhouse Lane became increasingly associated with poverty and illicit behavior. Tenements and courts
grew out of the narrow alleys intersecting with the street, packing in residences
(see above), which met the demand for cheap housing. The most notorious of these tenements
was Frogwell Court, known for its cramped and squalid living conditions (Temple). In 1620, magistrates dubbed the lane a prominent space for prostitution (Temple). Charterhouse Lane was also known for its array of taverns and alehouses.3 These taverns were smaller than some others in the area but were nevertheless riddled
with drunken debauchery and crime (Stow). In 1650, John Reading alluded to this lane in The Ranters Ranting, a satirical description of a radical group known as the Ranters who denied church
authority in favor of pantheistic views. The title page reveals the cunning tendencies
of the Ranters to steal food while pretending to be good-spirited (see below). In
the text, Reading describes their adventures, writing,
This Song being ended, they went to revelling till ten of the clock the next day, by which time, they having ſatiſfied themselves with chamber exerciſe, they fetcht a walk towards Smithfield, and went into Charter-houſe lane, where they had a leſſon played on the Organs, danced mixed dances Gap in transcription. Reason: Editorial omission for reasons of length or relevance. Use only in quotations in born-digital documents.[…] After this, ſome of the creatures went into rooms apart to milk and fodder; and others (whose chiefeſt pleasure was in drinking) ſung [a] catch. (Reading sig. A3v)
Reading’s fictional account of the Ranters suggests that Charterhouse Lane would not be a surprising location for careless partying. Although not as renowned
as other areas of public drinking, Charterhouse Lane was nonetheless associated with
mixed dancesand the
chiefest pleasureof alcohol, perhaps as a result of its impoverished reputation.
Charterhouse Lane was relatively unaffected by the Great Fire of 1666. In 1764, the lane was broadened (Temple). In 1775, improvement commissioners purchased and subsequently demolished Frogwell Court and many of the area’s alcohol distilleries (Temple). Finally, in 1869, Charterhouse Lane was demolished for the expansion of Smithfield Market and replaced with a newly structured Charterhouse Street (Temple).

Charterhouse
The London Charterhouse refers to a series of buildings located at the north-east end of Charterhouse Lane to the west of Aldersgate Street near Smithfield. Throughout the early modern period, the Charterhouse served many functions: prior to the Reformation, it was a Carthusian monastery; however, after the execution of Prior Houghton and other Carthusian martyrs in the mid-sixteenth century, the monastery was dissolved and the Charterhouse became a well known private residence and, later, the site of a hospital, school, and pensioners’ home. Today, the Charterhouse is used as a home for elderly pensioners, hosting about forty men.Charterhouse is mentioned in the following documents:
