Serving all of Merton including Wimbledon, Wimbledon Park, Mitcham, Morden, Raynes Park and Colliers Wood.
Burial History in Merton
Merton Priory, founded in 1114 as one of the largest Augustinian monasteries in medieval England, was the institution where Thomas Becket received part of his education before becoming Archbishop of Canterbury. Though dissolved by Henry VIII and largely demolished, the priory's memory persists in the borough's name and in archaeological remains beneath Colliers Wood. Wimbledon Cemetery opened around 1860, and London Road Cemetery in Mitcham reflects the late Victorian transformation of these Surrey villages into London suburbs connected to the capital by the new railway.
