About Merton

Merton reveals its quiet character through the limestone walls and low-slung roofs that define the Oxfordshire landscape. It lies 3.0 miles south of Bicester (from Bicester: bearing 191°T, OS grid SP 576 176), and is situated north-north-west of Murcott village. The light here catches the reeds bordering the Merton Ditch, where the water slows to a glassy, reflective crawl through the flat fields. Beyond the quiet lanes, the prominence of Street Hill rises with a subtle, brooding gravity that anchors the southern horizon. These low-lying meadows carry a damp, fertile scent, lingering long after the sun has dipped behind the hedgerows. St Swithun’s Church serves as a pale, stone landmark, its tower holding a steady watch over the patchwork of surrounding pastures. The air in Merton remains heavy with the stillness of centuries, undisturbed by the modern pulse of the nearby Bicester corridor. Here, the earth seems to hold onto the past with a firm, unyielding grip, letting the seasons dictate the pace of the day.
