STATUTE, 1ST NOVEMBER, 1937, APPOINTING THE DUKE OF PORTLAND K.G., G.C.V.O., TO THE OFFICE OF CHANCELLOR OF THE ORDER GEORGE R.I. GEORGE THE SIXTH by the Grace of God of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith, etc., and Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. WHEREAS Our Royal Predecessor King EDWARD the FOURTH was pleased to erect and establish the Office of Chancellor of Our said Most Noble Order of the Garter and in consideration that Our Royal Chapel of Saint George within Our Castle of Windsor was founded and established within the Diocese of Salisbury did grant the said Office to RICHARD BEAUCHAMP then Bishop of Salisbury and to his successors Bishops of that See. AND whereas by the Statutes of Our said Most Noble Order made by Our Royal Predecessor King HENRY the EIGHTH it was enacted and declared that no one be appointed to the Office of Chancellor of the said Order unless he be a Prelate of the Church as an Archbishop, Bishop or of other considerable dignity or if a temporal or secular person a Knight of Noble Blood of great learning reputation and experience. AND whereas from the year 1553 to the year 1669 the said Office of Chancellor was continuously filled by temporal or secular persons of or above the rank of Knight appointed successively by Our Royal Predecessors Sovereigns of Our said Most Noble Order. AND whereas in the year 1669 the said Office of Chancellor was restored to the Bishop of Salisbury and was held by successive Bishops of that See until the year 1837. AND whereas by a Statute of Our said Most Noble Order made by Our Royal Predecessor King WILLIAM the FOURTH bearing date the twenty-fifth day of February One thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven after reciting the creation of the said Office of Chancellor and the reasons hereinbefore stated for its conferment upon the Bishops of Salisbury and reciting that by an Order in Council dated the fifth day of October One thousand eight hundred and thirty-six the whole County of Berks had been dissevered from the Diocese of Salisbury and annexed to the Diocese of Oxford it was enacted and declared that the said Office of Chancellor of Our said Most Noble Order with all the rights and privileges thereunto annexed should thenceforward be held and enjoyed by the Bishop of Oxford and by his successors Bishops of Oxford. AND whereas the said Office of Chancellor of Our said Most Noble Order is now vacant by the resignation of the Right Reverend Father in God, Thomas, late Bishop of Oxford, We therefore after due consideration of the premises bearing in mind the said Statutes of Our Royal Predecessor King HENRY the EIGHTH and that the said Chapel of Saint George is a Free Chapel not under any Diocesan jurisdiction and considering that it would be suitable and convenient and of advantage to Our said Most Noble Order that the Office of Chancellor thereof should be filled by a Knight Companion of Our said Order or by such others person of learning, reputation, and experience not being below the rank of a Knight as it may seem good to Us Our Heirs and Successors Sovereigns of Our said Order from time to time to appoint do hereby revoke and cancel the said Statute of the twenty-fifth day of February One thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven and declare the same to be henceforth void and of none effect and do hereby Ordain and Declare that our Right Trusty and Right Entirely Beloved Cousin and Counsellor WILLIAM JOHN ARTHUR CHARLES JAMES, Duke of Portland, a Knight Companion of Our said Most Noble Order, Knight Grand Cross of Our Royal Victorian Order shall have hold and enjoy the said Office of Chancellor of Our said Most Noble Order with all the rights and privileges thereunto annexed. And although it is the ordinary business of Our said Chancellor to countersign Warrants passed under the Seal or Signet of Our said Order it is in this particular case Our Royal Will and Pleasure for avoiding all doubts that may arise by his countersigning or omitting to countersign the same and We do hereby Direct and Command that Our Trusty and Well Beloved Servant Sir GERALD WOODS WOLLASTON, Knight Commander of Our Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Knight Commander of Our Royal Victorian Order, Our Garter Principal King of Arms do countersign this Our Warrant and do affix the Seal of Our said Most Noble Order to this Our Warrant. GIVEN at Our Court at Buckingham Palace under Our Sign Manual and the Signet of Our said Order this First day of November, One thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven, in the first year of Our Reign. By the Sovereign's Command, GERALD W. WOLLASTON, Garter. Countersigner The individual who countersigned the Warrant.

This text is taken from a printed edition of the statutes and may not reflect the formatting of the original. Special Features This is a place to enter any distinguishing features. It's been claimed that the decision to appoint a Knight Companion as Chancellor instead of letting it remain with the Bishop of Oxford ex officio was motivated by the Palace's displeasure over Thomas Strong's behavior during the Abdication Crisis. It's worth noting, however, that the Duke of Portland wasn't appointed Chancellor until after Strong had resigned his See so it's possible that other factors were in play. Normally, Statutes are countersigned by the Chancellor, but since that wasn't possible in this case, this Statute makes special provision for Garter Principal King of Arms to countersign and seal it.

STATUTE, 21ST MARCH, 1939, DECLARING ALL KNIGHTS PRINCES OF THE BLOOD EXCEPTED TO BE SUCCEEDED IN THEIR STALLS BY THE NEXT KNIGHT IN SUCCESSION, OF WHATEVER DEGREE, AND NOT CHANGE SUCH STALL WITHOUT SPECIAL WARRANT FROM THE SOVEREIGN GEORGE R.I. WHEREAS by the Statutes of Our Most Noble Order of the Garter ordained and declared by Our Royal Predecessor King Henry the Eighth, it was declared and agreed in accordance with the ancient practice, that upon the death of any of the Knights Companions he that should come after and succeed in his place shall have the self-same stall that his predecessor had, and should not change it without special warrant or licence of the Sovereign, except Emperors, Kings and Princes, which should keep and hold their stalls after their estates and very next unto the Sovereign. And Whereas by a Statute passed on the Second day of February, 1805, it was decreed that the Sons of the Sovereign and such Princes of the Blood as should be of the Order should be placed according to their rank in the stalls nearest to that of the Sovereign; that Emperors and Kings should be placed according to their elections and installations, in the stalls next to those of the Blood Royal; that Sovereign Princes should be placed immediately after Emperors and Kings according to the same rule of election and installation; and that all other the Knights Companions, subjects and strangers, not of the dignity above mentioned should be installed in the lowest stalls, so that they may be translated to the higher according to their seniority in the Order and the ancient practice of the same. And Whereas it has been represented unto Us that the frequent alteration of the Banners and other Achievements of the Knights contemplated by the said Statute of the second day of February, 1805, is inconvenient and involves risk of injury to the fabric of Our Royal Chapel of St. George. We therefore, taking the premises into Our Royal consideration, and considering that it would be expedient to revert to the ancient practice set out and decreed in the said Statutes of Our Royal Predecessor King Henry the Eighth, do hereby declare and ordain that every subject of Us or of Our Successors (other than Princes of the Blood Royal) who shall be chosen to this Degree of Honour shall be placed in the stall of his predecessor, and not in any other without the special Warrant or Licence of the Sovereign: and that the order of the stalls occupied by Knights-Subjects shall not be deemed to be that of seniority in the Order. GIVEN at Our Court at Buckingham Palace this Twenty-first day of March, 1939, in the Second year of Our Reign. By the Sovereign's Command, PORTLAND, Chancellor.

WHEREAS, by the Statutes of the most noble Order of the Garter, it is provided that the said Order shall consist of The Sovereign and Twenty-five Knights Companions, together with such lineal Descendants of King George the Second as shall have been elected, and may hereafter be elected, into the same, always excepting the Prince of Wales who is a constituent Part of the original Institution; We, the Sovereign of the said most noble Order, Decree for taking, nevertheless, into our Royal Consideration, the Magnanimity, and the many other transcendent and heroic Qualities which distinguish Our Good Brother, ALEXANDER, Emperor and Autocrator of all the Russians; the high Friendship and close Alliance happily subsisting between Us; and the glorious Efforts of His Imperial Majesty for the Deliverance and Welfare of the Continent of Europe; Do, hereby, in virtue of the Power and Authority inherent in Us, as Sovereign, dispense with the said Statutes, in as far as may be required for the special Purpose hereinafter mentioned; and Do decree, ordain, and enjoin, that the Knights Companions, in Chapter assembled, may forthwith proceed to the Election of the said Emperor into Our said most noble Order; any Statute, Decree, Rule, or Usage to the contrary notwithstanding. Given at Our Court at Carlton House, under the Signet of Our said Order, the 27th Day of July, 1813, in the Fifty-third Year of Our Reign. By the special Command of His Royal Highness The Prince Regent, in the Name, and on the Behalf of The Sovereign. J. SARUM, C. G. Countersigner The individual who countersigned the Warrant.

This text is taken from a secondary source and so it may not reflect the formatting of the original. Special Features This is a place to enter any distinguishing features. Fisher was the penultimate Bishop of Salisbury to serve as Chancellor of the Garter. In 1837, the office was given to the Bishop of Oxford after Windsor was transferred to his diocese (though St. George's Chapel was exempt from diocesan jurisdiction as a royal peculiar). Fisher's use of the post-nominal letters GC mirrors the practice of the Lord Chancellor and Lord Privy Seal. The former ended their signature with a C while the latter ended it with CPS.
