Lonely Planet review for Merton College

Merton College, founded in 1264, sits just north of Dead Man’s Walk. The 14th-century Old Library in Mob Quad is the oldest medieval one still in use in the UK. JRR Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings, taught English at Merton from 1945 until his retirement in 1959.
