ST. George's Chapel (Windsor castle)

ST. George's Chapel (Windsor castle)

St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in England is a court chapel built in the late medieval Perpendicular Gothic style.

It is a Royal Peculiar (a church under the direct jurisdiction of the monarch) and a chapel of the Order of the Garter. The Chapel of St. George was founded in the 14th century by King Edward III, and was greatly expanded at the end of the 15th century. It is located in the lower part of the castle.

The castle has belonged to the monarchy for almost 1000 years. The chapel has been the scene of many royal masses, weddings and burials – in the 19th century St George's Chapel and the nearby Frogmore Gardens replaced Westminster Abbey as the chosen burial place of the British royal family. The Deans and Canons of Windsor who make up St George's College are responsible for running the chapel. They are assisted by a clerk, verger and other staff. The Society of Friends of St. George and Descendants of the Knights of the Garter, a registered charity, was founded in 1931 to assist the college in maintaining the chapel.
