WHERE-THE LATE KING WILL BE BURIED, ST. GEORGE’S CHAPEL, WINDSOR.—St. George’s Chapel, in which' the late King will be interred, is one of the finest examples of perpendicular architecture in England, comparable with two other royal chapels, that of King’s College at Cambridge and that of Henry VII. at Westminster, which are a little later in date. The building was begun by Edward IV., who in 1473, pulled down almost the, whole of the earlier chapel, which had been completed and filled with stained glass by Edward 111. The chapel ranks next to Westminster Abbey as a royal mausoleum, though no king was buried there before' Edward IV. The late King’s father, Edward VII., has his resting place in this chapel. Our illustrations show (1) the west end of the chapel, (2) a view of the interior.
