Gilebertus Small Notebook
Exclusive to St George's Chapel Shop, this sustainably sourced, UK made, leather covered pocket notebook is inspired by the unique and striking Gilebertus doors of St. George's Chapel, capturing the exquisite red colour and intricate golden design, it makes an elegant souvenir or gift. The size of this item is 9x10cm, unlined pages.
The Gilebertus doors have been standing since the mid-thirteenth century and are one of the few surviving parts of the earliest chapel at Windsor Castle.The spiralling design of the ironwork is a stylised tree, with leaves, flowers and small animals decorating the stems. Very unusually for a work of its time, the ironwork bears a name; a number of the leaves among the design are stamped with the letters +GILEBERTVS.
Although the doors are not in daily use, they can be admired by the visitors all year round. However, when members of the Royal Family attend services at St George’s (for example at Easter) it is through the Gilebertus door that they enter the Chapel.
