Description
Merton College, viewed from across Christ Church Meadow. The stone wall that divides the College site from Christ Church Meadow follows the route of the medieval walls of the city. Merton College's foundation can be traced back to the 1260s when Walter de Merton, chancellor to Henry III and later to Edward I, first drew up statutes for an independent academic community and established endowments to support it. The important feature of Walter's foundation was that this "college" was to be self-governing and the endowments were directly vested in the Warden and Fellows.
