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.

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.

During each of our three visits to Windsor, we have viewed the town’s fine town hall which is called the Windsor Guildhall because it was originally the meeting place for craft guilds. It has only been in more recent times that the building has been used as the meeting chamber for Windsor’s town councils. Our most recent visit to Windsor, again saw us admiring the intricate exterior architecture of this small town hall. Its facade is dominated by columns and arches and the finely carved statues embedded in the wall above the arches on both ends of the entrance portico. Whilst we were there this time, many other visitors were taking some time to admire and photograph this fine building. A “must-see” location for any tourist spending time in Windsor!

Tranquil Frogmore House, about a mile from Windsor Castle, has been a royal retreat for more than 300 years and today is used by the Royal Family for private entertaining. Frogmore House is only open to individuals on three summer Charity Open Days each year, when all proceeds are donated to specially selected charities. Frogmore is also open to pre-booked groups of 15 people or more during August only.

We were fortunate to have a tour of this home on the grounds of Windsor Great Park -- Harry and Megan's wedding reception was held on the lawn of this home. We were told that Queen Elizabeth and her family come here for private time, and I could picture them at this home being ordinary people for a few hours. If you have a chance to visit, it is worthwhile.
