The entrance between the twin towers is actually a continuation of the North Terrace that runs behind St. George's Hall and the State Apartments. In St George's Hall, in the Upper Ward, are the formal state rooms. One is a vast room which has a ceiling decorated with the coats of arms of past and present members of the Order of the Garter. King Edward III founded the Order of the Garter as "a society, fellowship and college of knights." The foundation year is usually presumed to be 1348, although dates from 1344 to 1351 have been proposed. The King's wardrobe account shows Garter habits first issued in the autumn of 1348. Regardless, the Order probably was not established before 1346; its original statutes required that each member already be a knight and some of the initial members were only knighted that year. The use of the garter as an emblem may have derived from straps used to fasten armor, but their are other theories of how the name came to be.
