Church kneelers at
St George’s Chapel
Windsor, Berkshire
St George’s Chapel is situated in Windsor Castle. It is a castle chapel built in the Perpendicular Gothic style. The building of St George’s Chapel was started in the 14th century by King Edward III and further developed in the 15th century.
The chapel has been used for many royal services. In recent times many of the Royal family have chosen the chapel as the venue for their weddings. Marriages include: Prince Edward to Sophie Rhys-Jones, Peter Phillips to Autumn Kelly, Prince Henry of Wales to Megan Markle, Princess Eugenie of York to Jack Brooksbank and Lady Gabriella Windsor to Thomas Kingston.
Many Royals from across Europe have chosen the chapel for their funerals and interments. St George’s Chapel and the nearby Frogmore Gardens superseded Westminster Abbey as the chosen burial place for the British royal family.
A superb collection of kneelers have been submitted to us from St George’s chapel from nine locations around the building.
