CHAPEL is also a name given to a printer's workhouse, because, according to some authors, printing was first actually performed in chapels or churches; or, according to others, because Caxton, an early printer, exercised the art in one of the chapels in Westminster Abbey. In this sense they say, the order or laws of the chapel, the secrets of the chapel, and so forth.
Knights of the Chapel, called also Poor Knights of Windsor, were instituted by Henry VIII. in his testament. Their number was at first thirteen, but it has been since augmented to twenty-six. They assist in the funeral services of the kings of England; they are subject to the office of the canons of Windsor, and live on pensions as-
Chapel-en-signed them by the order of the Garter. They wear a le-Frith blue or red cloak, with the arms of St George on the left shoulder.
