	Eton School Uniform

The buildings were completed between 1491 and 1523.

	Eton College
		The King's College of our Lady of Eton was founded in 1440 by Henry VI as a charity school to provide free education to a small number of poor students who would then go on to King's College, Cambridge.
		It is often suggested that the Duke of Wellington claimed "The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing-fields of Eton".
		The provenance for this is dubious: Wellington briefly attended Eton, for which he had no great love, in the late 18th century, when the school had no playing fields or organised team sports, and the phrase wsa first recorded three years after the Duke's death.

		The Eton suit is probably the only instance of a specific school uniform (that of the younger boys of Eton College) becoming a general juvenile fashion.
		Winston Churchill, the grandson of the wartime prime minister who attended Eton in the mid-1950s, recalled with obvious pain in his autobiography, that 'I, being among the smallest boys in the school, was required to wear a short Eton jacket, colloqially known asa bum-freezer, together with a broad and most uncomfortable starched collar.
		Indeed, Etons were the mark of the well-born boy and although later unmasked as an impostor, Freddie Bartholemew cuts a convincingly aristocratic figure in the prewar film Lord Jeff.

	HOASM: The Eton Choirbook (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Eton choirbook is by far the most important of the few English sources surviving from the first part of our period: in fact it is unquestionably one of the greatest monuments of English music in any age.
		The origin and early history of the magnificent Eton style are obscure, because of the paucity of late fifteenth-century sources and the lack of precise chronological data about individual works or composers' lives and movements.
		But it is clear from the distinctive character of the Eton style that by the 1470s at the latest (given William Horwood's death in 1484) English music was developing more or less in isolation from the 'mainstream' of activity in France and the Netherlands.
