From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

... to the King's house and to observe the neatness and
contrivance of the house and gates; it is the most Romantique
castle that is in the world.

... and so took coach and away to Eaton, the Doctor [Dr. Childe]
with me.  At Eaton I left my wife in the coach, and he and I to
the college and there find all mighty fine.   The school good, and
the custom pretty of boys cutting their names in the shuts of the
window when they go to Cambrige; by which many a one hath lived to
see himself Provost and Fellow, that had his name in the window
standing.
