Eton has benefited from legacies since its very earliest days and each year they contribute a significant amount to our highest priorities. A gift in your will can support Eton broadly or a part of the College most meaningful to you.

The Henry VI Society

It was announced in March 2023 that Richard Briance (RDFW, ORSB 71) will become the Chairman of the Henry VI Society. Richard is successor to Sir John Nutting KC, who retired at the end of 2022 after 10 years of service.

Saying Thank You

A will is very personal, and we understand if you prefer to keep your plans private. If you do wish to let us know about a pledged legacy, we will be able to keep you and your family informed on the impact your gift could make as well as welcome you to our Henry VI Society, which honours those who have made a gift to Eton in their will through a series of annual ‘thank you’ events.

You can use the button below to fill out a legacy pledge form and let us know of your intentions. You will never be asked how much you have pledged and your information will be treated confidentially.
