=== Architecture and education === [[File:20130808 Kings College Chapel 01.jpg|thumb|upright 1.2|[[King's College Chapel, Cambridge]]]] Henry's one lasting achievement was his fostering of education: he founded [[Eton College]]; [[King's College, Cambridge]]; and [[All Souls College, Oxford]]. He continued a career of architectural patronage started by his father: King's College Chapel and [[Eton College Chapel]] and most of his other architectural commissions (such as his completion of his father's foundation of [[Syon Abbey]]) consisted of a late [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] or [[Perpendicular Gothic|Perpendicular]]-style church with a monastic or educational foundation attached. Each year on the anniversary of Henry VI's death, the Provosts of Eton and King's lay white lilies and roses, the respective floral emblems of those colleges, on the spot in the Wakefield Tower at the Tower of London where the imprisoned Henry VI was, according to tradition, murdered as he knelt at prayer. There is a similar ceremony at his resting place, St George's Chapel.<ref name="archives">{{Cite web |title=The Roos Monument in the Rutland Chantry Chapel |url=http://www.stgeorges-windsor.org/archives/blog/?cat=14&paged=4 |access-date=30 October 2014 |website=Archive for the St George's Chapel |publisher=College of St. George}}</ref>
