I know Eton from some English plays, but I don't know how famous she is. Eton College, an ancient institution founded by Henry VI in 1440, is located in Windsor Town, 20 miles from London, on the Thames River in Buckinghamshire, across the bank from the Windsor Palace. It is the most famous aristocratic high school in Britain, ranking in the top ten in the country. Eaton is recognized as the best high school in Britain. Although the founder Henry VI named the private high school "public school", today she is truly an aristocratic school.
