Eton College is boys boarding school established in 1440 by Henry VI. Initially established to provide free schooling for poor boys, with the intent for them to continue their education at the King’s College, Eton is known for being a prestigious, wealthy, and historical school. Many of its alumni are notable and influential. Shelley’s choice to have Fitzhenry go to school here speaks to Lodore’s societal status and financial means. It also shows early signs of Fitzhenry’s pride and dissatisfaction with society.

There are many mentions of Longfield in relation to Elizabeth, with it being their childhood home. I could not find very good passages that referred to this location in relation to Fitzhenry’s childhood, though. The closest reference is at the death of his father, which is detailed later. So, I am assuming this was also Fitzhenry’s childhood home.
