What is St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle?
[[File:St George's Chapel Garter Day.jpg|thumb|280px|People outside St George's Chapel]] '''St George's Chapel''' is the [[church]] at [[Windsor Castle]] in [[England]]. The chapel is governed by the [[Dean]] and [[Canon]]s of Windsor and is found in the Lower [[Ward]] of the castle. The status of the Abbey is that of a '''[[Royal Peculiar]]'''. This means it is place of worship that falls directly under the jurisdiction of the British [[monarch]], rather than under a [[bishop]]. The concept dates from [[Anglo-Saxon]] times, when a church could ally itself with the monarch and therefore not be subject to the bishop of the area. Technically speaking, it is not a [[cathedral]], though it has a similar status. Many Royal [[wedding]]s and other ceremonies with the British Crown have taken place there. == Other websites == * [http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/registeredcharities/showcharity.asp?remchar=&chyno=1118295 Charity Commission website]{{Dead link|date=January 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} * [http://www.stgeorges-windsor.org/ Chapel website] * [http://www.thamesweb.co.uk/windsor/windsorhistory/winguide06a.html A guide to the chapel] {{religion-stub}} [[Category:Anglican churches in England]] [[Category:Royal Victorian Order|*]] [[Category:14th-century buildings and structures]]
