Merton Priory, Augustinian priory in Colliers Wood, London Borough of Merton, England.
The priory stands at the intersection of the River Wandle and Stane Street, with its Chapter House foundations preserved beneath Merantun Way.
Founded in 1114 by Gilbert Norman, Sheriff of Surrey, the priory served as a venue for the 1236 Parliament where the Statute of Merton passed.
The Chapter House Heritage Museum displays artifacts, medieval burials, and stone coffins that represent the religious life of Augustinian monks.
Located under the A24 road, visitors can access the Chapter House museum through scheduled guided tours and educational programs.
The stone from the demolished priory in 1538 was transported to construct Henry VIII's Nonsuch Palace, connecting two major Tudor structures.
