SPIRITUAL HOME OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE GARTER, ST. GEORGE’S CHAPEL  

IN the Lower Ward of Windsor Castle is the magnificent St. George’s Chapel,  

one of the finest examples in Britain of the late medieval style of architec-  

ture known as Perpendicular. The Chapel was originally planned by King  

Edward IV (1461-1483), not only as Royal Chapel but also as the temple  

of the Knights of the Garter, that ancient order of chivalry founded in 1348  

by King Edward 111.  

The first stage of building was completed in 1483, when the choir ana  

aisles were finished, and this was followed by the building of the nave, which  

was roofed in 1496, although the superb stone vaulting was not completed  

until 1528. Extensive restoration was carried out between 1921 and 1930, and  

today the Chapel appears very much as it did four centuries ago during the  

reign of Henry VIII. Its outward appearance is remarkable for its detail and  

symmetry; around the parapet are number of grotesque gargoyles, and each  

square pinnacle is surmounted by the stone figure of heraldic animal or  

“King’s beast.”  

The chief architectural feature within the Chapel is the delicate stone-  

vaulted roof, with its numerous colored shields and heraldic devices, including  

the famous blue Garter. The main body of the choir is tilled with elaborately  

carved stalls, which were completed in 1485. The upper tier is for the Knights  

of the Garter, and above the stall of each knight hangs his banner and coat  

of arms- on the canopy of each stall is helmet surmounted by the knights  

crest Beneath the royal standard is the Sovereign’s Stall, with that of the  

UC Although most of the carved woodwork of the stalls tell the Gospel story,  

or the leaend of St. George, there are others that are satirical. One of these  

depicts monkey, intended to be doctor, pouring medicine down the throat  

of lean dog lying on its back; another shows cat on stool playing the  

° rSa in St George’s Chapel were buried Henry VI (d. 1461), Edward IV (d.  

1483) Henry VIII (d. 1509), his third queen, Jane Seymour, and Charles  

(d 1649). Here also may be seen the more recent tombs ot Edward VII (d.  

1910), Queen Alexandra and that of King George V.
