Church of St John the Baptist, Anglican parish church in High Street, Windsor, England
The Gothic Revival structure stands with large blocks of ashlar stone and cast-iron trusses, featuring a semi-circular apse added between 1869 and 1873.
After Henry I relocated the Royal Court to Windsor Castle around 1110, references to the church appeared during Henry II's reign in 1184.
The church displays a significant 17th-century Last Supper painting presented by George III in 1788, alongside wood carvings by master craftsman Grinling Gibbons.
With a seating capacity of 1,000 people, the church functions as a venue for concerts, educational activities, and community gatherings throughout the year.
The Royal Pew contains decorative screens featuring intricate carvings of pelicans feeding their young, used by King George V and Queen Mary.
