The Association's 1998 conference was focused on Windsor. The
castle and College of St George, with its chapel, were the main
themes. The architectural papers, however, extended to the parish
church at Shottesbrooke, Reading Abbey and Eton College: this
volume contains most of the papers given at the conference.
Following an introduction to Windsor in the context of medieval
Berkshire, there are chapters considering the work of Henry III,
the remarkable buildings of Edward III, and the restoration after
the tragic fire of 1992. Other chapters consider decorative
elements in the chapel and the College, from floor-tiles in the
Aerary to Henry III's wall-paintings in the Lower Ward. The book
throws new light on many aspects of the castle and the College, and
confirms, surely, Matthew Paris's view that there was 'no more
splendid a castle in all of Europe'.
