Learning

Merton Priory was once the centre of learning in the area, and it’s still a great place to learn about history.

If you’re a teacher, here are our schools resources.

If you are a parent (or even a pupil), have a look at the schools page, but here are some additional resources.

Information for educators

As well as resources and lesson ideas, which you can find on our schools page, here are some information sheets for background knowledge.

Our 900th anniversary leaflet on Merton Priory  is here, and you can see some of our exhibition boards online.

A cartoon biography of our former student Thomas Becket is here, and a short video is here.
