Merton College - Oxford University

We are still visiting Oxford, England and its many historic colleges. Merton College was founded in 1264 and is one of the oldest colleges at Oxford University. It has a beautiful chapel, which is thought to be the finest late 13th century building in Oxford. The plan of the college developed haphazardly over time, incorporating existing buildings dating before the college, but eventually Mob Quad evolved (one of the oldest collegiate quadrangles).
