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.

Windsor & Royal Borough Museum

The jewel in the Royal Borough’s crown. We’re a family friendly museum bursting with interesting facts and interactive displays on the Royal Borough and its residents. When available we offer guided tours of Windsor Guildhall where portraits of monarchs adorn our walls. Your ordinarily is our extraordinary. Keep exploring online until we open again.

This is a small single room museum on the ground floor of the Windsor Guildhall building close to the Castle. There’s a small entry fee of just £2, but it’s well worth paying to see a fascinating collection of objects connected with the town and its long history. There are also useful information boards all round the room with photographs and explanations. There’s an area in the centre with various things to keep children amused. Loved this tiny museum, which does a great job in a very limited space.

Lillibrooke hosted our work Christmas party and it was absolutely stunning. We had two separate private spaces - one smaller barn on a lawn for entree drinks and then a much larger barn for dinner. In the larger barn, everything was enclosed in the one space - a bar, toilets etc, so was very private. The only one small negative was that our party was split up - about a quarter had to go off in to a smaller room on the side. However, not their fault, we had in excess of 300 people! Our three course dinner was fresh and lovely - a crab starter, turkey main and mixed dessert. It was also decorated beautifully. Would highly, highly recommend.
