The name is derived from the former Sheen Priory, and "Anglorum" means "of the English" in Latin.
The charterhouse at Nieuwpoort achieved stability, and endured until, as part of the rationalist reforms of the Emperor Joseph II, it was suppressed in 1783.
Others connected with the community were Francis Nicholson (1650-1731) and Theodore Augustine Mann (1735-1809), prior from 1764 to 1777.
His papers, the seal of Sheen Anglorum and various relics passed into the possession of the Carthusians of Parkminster.
