The College of St George is a community of people who live and work together to offer worship to God, prayers for the Sovereign and the Order of the Garter, service to society and hospitality to visitors.
St George’s Chapel sits within the walls of Windsor Castle. The Chapel was begun by King Edward IV in 1475 and finished just over 50 years later by King Henry VIII.
St George’s Chapel is the home of the Order of the Garter. This Order of Chivalry was founded by King Edward III in 1348. The banners of the current Knights and Ladies of the Order hang above their seats in the Quire, the eastern part of St George’s Chapel. Prince Philip and the then Princess Elizabeth, were installed as members of the Order by King George VI in 1948.
