With its stunning architecture and rich history, Merton College stands as a testament to Oxford's intellectual prowess. One cannot help but be captivated by Mr. Sadler's Ascent from Merton Fields, an awe-inspiring event that took place right here in Oxford. This daring feat showcased human ingenuity and marked a milestone in aviation history. Fast forward to 1675 when Merton College became an epicenter for knowledge exchange and scholarly pursuits. The vibrant atmosphere within these hallowed halls continues to inspire generations of students to push boundaries and challenge conventional wisdom. Meanwhile, across town at Wimbledon Common in 1845, Prosser's Wooden Railway emerged as a marvel of engineering brilliance. Its creator may remain unknown, but their legacy lives on through this remarkable creation that captured the imagination of all who witnessed it. In 1911, Mr. W. H. P Jenkins left his indelible mark on Merton Abbey with his visionary ideas and innovative spirit. His contributions paved the way for progress not only within Morris & Co. 's iconic tapestries but also throughout the entire artistic community. Merging past with present, we find ourselves transported back to Christ Church College in Oxfordshire – another bastion of academic excellence intertwined with our beloved Merton Abbey.
