 St George's House, which stands in the shadow of St George's
Chapel between the medieval Cloisters and a tranquil courtyard, was built
in the late seventeenth century to house two Canons. In 1966, at the initiative
of the then Dean, Robin Woods, and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, it was converted
into a centre for courses and consultations and opened by Her Majesty
the Queen. The House was comprehensively refurbished in 2001.
It is an integral part of the College of St George, a community of clergy and lay people established in 1348 by King Edward III to complement the Knights of the Garter, England’s oldest Order of Chivalry. Five Garter Knights are members of the Council of St George’s House.
 In
the tradition of service to Church and Society, the House is now a place
for reflection on matters of contemporary concern. Rooted in history,
the work of the House is resolutely modern in outlook.
