Henry VI had founded Eton College in 1440 linking a chantry to a school and Greyndour was an early example of a similar establishment.

Katherine Berkeley, Lady Margaret Beaufort and Greyndour were all early examples of women founding schools.

She had married well initially to Reynold West, sixth Baron de la Warr and when he died in 1450, she remarried to John Tiptoft, 1st Earl of Worcester.

Notably, Sir John Barre [de] was buried with his first wife when he died in 1483.

The school that she founded has a history that ended in the 1960s[3] and it became part of the Royal Forest of Dean College.
