Eton College was founded in 1440 by Henry VI as “Kynge’s College of Our Ladye of Eton beside Wyndesore”. He made provision for 70 poor boys, known as King’s Scholars, to be housed and educated at Eton free of charge. Alongside them additional boys could benefit from a free education but would have to pay for their accommodation.
The primary subject was Latin though Mathematics was added in 1857.
For more information about the college, visit the Eton College website. There is a lot to see at the College.
