Coming Home!

I loved this school. The first time I set foot inside the grounds I knew I had found the place I was supposed to be. Passing the 11 plus was unheard of in my family, I knew it was my means of escape from drudgery and the school itself ...Read more

Caption For Windsor, Castle, St George's Chapel, Choir East 1895

The interior of St George's Chapel is wide rather than high, an effect partly due to the consistent use of four-centred arches. The stalls were provided in 1478-85, carved by William Berkely.
