St. George's Chapel

Reviewed By sideboards

Inside the chapel you’ll find 10 different kings buried, beautiful ornate wood work commissioned by Henry V111 for Catherine of Aragon, and the stunning stained glass windows of this amazing church, inside is the final resting place of the queen mother and princess Margret along with princess Charlotte. This is a working church so you can listen to choirs and join the congregation for prayer.

Holy Trinity Garrison Church

Reviewed By 968nicholash - London, United Kingdom

Sadly the Windsor Garrison no longer uses this church, but it remains a shrine to the British Army with standards everywhere and the balcony fascia completely covered with memorials to various military campaigns. I was fortunate to visit on the day before Remembrance Sunday, so it was full of volunteers cleaning the interior and setting up for the following day’s service. I was able to have a fascinating talk with the vicar about the history of the church, which was initially funded by a donation by Queen Victoria. Prince Albert had a significant influence over its design and there’s a life sized statue of him in the entrance lobby. The magnificent interior is very definitely Victorian, but distinctly lighter and brighter than in many other churches of that era.

Reading Abbey Ruins

The Abbey Ruins will re-open on 16 June 2018.

Reviewed By BT3rd - Datchet, United Kingdom

This abbey in the centre of the city is easy to find from the high street. It worth a look if only for the historical context of the Abbey.
