Sutton's Hospital

Sutton's Hospital continues to care for its Brothers - who are still, as Sutton intended, military men, schoolmasters, clergy, artists, musicians, writers and businessmen. Each Brother has his own bed-sitting room, now situated in the Tudor building, and there are now some flats.
There is a well-equipped and well staffed infirmary, and although a Brother has to be in a fair state of health for his age when he enters, he is looked after for the rest of his life if he so wishes even if he becomes ill or infirm.
In 1999 work started on new accommodation for more Brothers, and the foundation stone was laid by the Duke of Edinburgh.
The links between the two Foundations - School and Hospital - remain strong. All new entrants to the school visit the London Charterhouse early in their school career, and many school Houses hold their annual or bi-annual dinner in the Library.
Every September there is a Foundation Lunch - held in either London or Godalming - for the Governors of both Establishments, followed in December by the Founders Day Dinner for OC's.
