The 'Charterhouse Mission' as it was then, was set up by old boys of Charterhouse School in April 1885 as part of the "settlement movement". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settlement_movement This building in Crosby Row, including St Hugh's Church, gym and working mens club, was built c.1908. As of 2010, the organisation only operates a nursery, and the future of this building is uncertain.
