Summary edit
| Description |
English: 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. |
