Eton College
Eton College, usually informally referred to simply as Eton, is a single-sex boys' independent boarding school which educates over 1300 boys, aged 13 to 18 years. It was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI as "The King's College of Our Lady of Eton besides Wyndsor", making it the 18th oldest HMC school.

Eton College hall
Built about 1450 as the dining room for the original 70 scholars, and still used for exactly the same purpose today. Former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan would have eaten in here daily as he was a Kings Scholar living at the college, as opposed to an Oppidan who live and eat at boarding houses around the town. Elizabeth I also ate in this room on a visit in the 1560s.
The room reflects a monastic refectory model, with a high table, similar to that found in Oxbridge Colleges and Mediaeval great halls. The stained glass in the west window dates from 1858.

Eton College cloister
The college was founded in 1440 but this is part of a group of buildings built around 1520 by Henry Redman, who was also involved in construction at Hampton Court Palace. This area provided extra accommodation for the Provost (the head of college).

Eton College, Lupton's Tower
The tower is part of a range of buildings on the east side of the school yard, erected in 1520 to provide extra accommodation for the Provost. Unfortunately the planners forgot to allow for the Heathrow flight path, nearly 500 years later.

Quiet time "on" the seat of learning
A nice spring evening, the public have gone, the quad is deserted - ideal for a sit and ponder. Eton college, Eton.

Eton College graffiti
Of course it is not graffiti. Boys were all but encouraged to carve their names in various places around the college grounds. These are on one of the soft stone walls of the chapel.
