St. George's Chapel, Chatham

St. George's Chapel at Chatham, Medway, Kent is the chapel in an area that used to be Chatham Dockyard, used by the Royal Navy for centuries. It is notable for its naval connections. St. George’s remains a naval memorial centre, managed by the Local Authority, and is rich with windows and memorials dedicated to naval personnel. One example is a stained glass window that was unveiled by Queen Elizabeth (then Princess Elizabeth) on 29 October 1950, to commemorate Chatham-based ships that were lost in World War II.
