Tours of St George’s Chapel, Windsor, and St George’s Archives

This visit to St George’s Chapel and St George’s Archives is organised by Windsor Branch as part of the special events to celebrate the 50th birthday of Berkshire Family History Society. It is open to members and non-members alike.

St George’s Chapel was founded in the 14th century by King Edward III. It was extensively enlarged in the late 15th century. In the 1,000 years it has belonged to the monarchy, it has been the scene of many Royal baptisms, marriages and burials.

The College of St George was founded in 1348 by Edward III and is the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter. St George’s Chapel Archives comprise documents relating to the history of the Chapel, the properties it once owned and the Order of the Garter.

Enjoy a tour of both places with experts in their history.
