Winchester College

Winchester College is a public school in the city of Winchester in Hampshire, in the south of England. It is the 'original' public school and the model for later schools like Eton and Harrow. Officially called "Collegium Santae Mariae prope Wintoniensem", or "St. Mary's College outside Winchester", although the only time this name is used is when the college is being contacted by the water board. Instead, the college is commonly referred to as "Win: Coll:" or just "Winchester". Winchester has existed for over six hundred years and claims to have the longest unbroken history of any school in England.
