Two of the UK’s leading removal companies, Barnes of Lincoln and White & Company, have joined forces to complete a challenging and prestigious relocation, moving a member of the clergy from Lincoln into the historic Horseshoe Cloisters at Windsor Castle.
Royal Approval and Preparation

The four-day operation required royal approval before the teams could begin.
To receive royal approval to operate inside Windsor Castle is a rare privilege, and the successful delivery is a testament to the professionalism of both firms.
One Day to Deliver

With four vehicles used to transport the consignment, the crews faced the unique challenge of having just one day to deliver and complete the move, on Wednesday, the only day the Cloisters are closed to the public.
With tight deadlines and no margin for error, the crews worked meticulously to deliver everything within the allocated window.
Navigating Historic Architecture

Once inside, the removal specialists were tasked with manoeuvring furniture up a spiral staircase and across four storeys, all within the constraints of the Castle’s centuries-old architecture.
More Than a Move
For the crew members involved, it was more than just another move; it was an opportunity to make history of their own within one of the most famous royal residences in the world.
The sight of the Barnes and White & Company vehicles positioned beside St George’s Chapel and the Round Tower highlighted the scale and prestige of the move.
About the Horseshoe Cloisters

The Horseshoe Cloisters, located in the Castle’s Lower Ward, were constructed between 1478 and 1481 under Edward IV. Designed to house the priest-vicars of St George’s Chapel, the buildings’ distinctive curved shape is linked to Edward’s heraldic badge.
Although heavily restored in the 19th century, they remain central to the daily life of the College of St George, still providing accommodation for clergy today.
In Our Words
A member of the Barnes of Lincoln removals team said:
“This was no ordinary move. Working inside Windsor Castle, with its history and heritage, was both an honour and a challenge. Our crews showed immense professionalism to deliver everything within the strict timeframe.”
A Move Fit for Royalty

The successful completion of the project stands as a testament to the skill and expertise of the joint effort of both Barnes of Lincoln and White & Company, a move truly fit for royalty.
