There are 76 of these heraldic creatures in all, such as the bull for bravery, the griffin for vigilance, the unicorn for strength, the swan for grace and perfection. But what makes St George' s Chapel so special is the soaring windows. Gothic architecture was all about height and light. And the sheer quantity of stained glass held up by delicate stone tracery makes the interior feel vast and almost supernaturally lit. Once inside, rows of carved stone angels draw the eye up to one of the last great flowerings of English gothic, this magnificent fan vault ceiling, studded with badges of the Knights of the Garter. |
