Merton College, Medieval college in Oxford, England
Merton College contains stone buildings arranged around multiple courtyards, including Mob Quad, which dates back to the 14th century.
Walter de Merton established this educational institution in 1264, making it one of the first colleges within the University of Oxford system.
