About
Merton Priory Chapter House is arguably one of the most important heritage sites in England, linked to the origin of English Law and the likes of King John, King Henry VIII and Thomas Beckett. This Ancient Monument is 900 years old and from 1114 until its dissolution in 1538, Merton Priory was one of the country's biggest and most influential monastic houses. The visitor centre and museum are currently under construction and the centre is due to open to the public in Summer/Autumn 2018.
