From Wikipedia:
Vaughan was educated at a state school, St Andrew's Primary School in Totteridge, Barnet and later at two independent boarding schools, the Bramcote School, Nottinghamshire[citation needed] and Uppingham School, Rutland.[5] During his school years he showed a talent for comedy,[3] playing the violin and singing.

It's next to Leicestershire. It disappeared after local government reorganisation in 1974, but regained 'independence' in 1997. It's the smallest English county.
