Who?

Alexander Nowell
It appears unlikely that Alexander Nowell (c. 1517–1602) attended Charterhouse which was not founded until 1611, nine years after his death.--TomboPC (talk) 21:01, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

I don't believe the last people on the list exist - "master of disaster" indeed!

Roger Williams
Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, is on this list, and Charterhouse is noted in his entry. Is it certain he attended? MarmadukePercy (talk) 21:21, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * According to this source, Williams did attend and was elected a pensioner of Charterhouse 25 June 1621.MarmadukePercy (talk) 22:24, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Although Baroness Warsi and Paxo are listed as being old Carthusians, their personal pages say they were educated elsewhere. Anyone clarify? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.113.146 (talk) 18:04, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Jeremy Paxman
Although an article in The Independent refers to Jeremy Paxman being at Malvern and then Charterhouse, is this really true? Can it be verified? 86.148.7.112 (talk) 21:25, 20 April 2010 (UTC) Ausseagull (talk) 21:26, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Sir Robert Abdy, Bt.
Strictly speaking, despite the style and heritability of his title, a Baronet is a commoner (like a Knight) and thus not a member of the nobility.

Granted, I haven't researched this beyond the bounds of Wikipedia, but Sir Robert doesn't seem to have done much beyond what was a typical career for men in his social class. He went to Sandhurst and was commissioned into the Army. Married a couple of ladies along the way, though not concurrently--now, that would have been something to take notice of. I have no reason to doubt that his Army service was honorable and a credit to him, but I don't see anything outstanding there. I'm not sure why he is included in this list.
