Windsor
An exhibition of prints taken by acclaimed photographer Eleanor Curtis from her book, ‘St George’s Chapel, Windsor – A Portrait’ which has just been published.
Eleanor was given unprecedented and privileged access to go behind the scenes of St George’s Chapel and which included permission to photograph HM The Queen and the Royal Family in attendance there. Her discreet and detailed photography captures the spirit and essence of life at St George’s Chapel.
The book is a unique and stunning publication and it captures in traditional black and white film photography the incredible variety of activities that take place throughout the year, offering both the public and the intimate face of the Chapel.
Revealing a story never told before this book offers an insiders view into St George’s Chapel ranging from the care and calm of daily liturgical life, to the pomp and splendour of Garter Day, the Royal Victorian Order and the festivities of Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. Also captured in intimate detail are the Choir, the Military Knights, the bell ringers and archaeologists, the organist and organ tuners, the military and musicians, and the many more who make up the fabric of St George’s Chapel today. This collection of images presents an almost timeless slice of British history and culture, revealed through the life of the chapel as it is used everyday.
Entrance fee included in Windsor Castle ticket.
