I'm at the archaeological remains of Merton Priory this morning for #the32. Did you know this was the site of England's first Parliament, and where the very first statute in English law was agreed, known as 'The Statute of Merton'? @writtenbysalma @BBCRadioLondon

An incredible vibe on last night’s memorable #WandleFortnight #LondonUnseen #FrankieGoesToCollywood Tour - some came from as far afield as Highgate & Berkshire & had never heard of the Wandle or Merton Priory Thanks Lynda, Frank Kitz descendant for highly moving input

Thanks so much to the formidable John Hawks and his gorgeous dog, Toby, for today's (free!) guided walk in conjunction with South East Rivers Trust. It was thoroughly enjoyable. We learned absolutely loads about the River Wandle, Merton Priory, and Merton Abbey Mills!
