[[St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle|St George's Chapel]] in [[Windsor, Berkshire|Windsor]] is the [[mother church]] of the Order of the Garter and the location of special services in relation to the Order.<ref name="RH2"/>

During their lifetime, all members of the Order of the Garter are entitled to display their heraldic crests and banners in St George's Chapel. While the Garter stall plates {{see below}} stay in the chapel permanently, the crests and banners of deceased knights are, following presentation at the High Altar, removed from the chapel. Sometimes they are then given to institutions that were connected with the late knight, or kept privately depending on family wishes.<ref name=GarterBannerList/> Originally after a knight's death, the crests became the property of Garter King of Arms, and these crests have been the subject of occasional exhibitions in the Earl Marshal's Court at the [[College of Arms]].

[[Garter stall plate]]s are small enamelled and engraved brass plates located in St George's Chapel as memorials to Knights of the Garter.<ref name="RH2"/>
