medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Looking at the groundplans of some English Charterhouses recently, I 
noticed that the chapter house adjoined the presbytery of the chapel, 
and had an altar marked (and I vaguely remember an altar in the chapter 
house at Parkminster.) Does anyone know the reason for this? And were 
the Carthusians unique in having altars in their chapter houses?
