More about this scene
The c hurch of St Peter de Merton is of great interest, for it contains Anglo-Saxon work. The present chancel was the nave of the first church, while the tower was added after the Norman Conquest. Much of the rest of the church, the present nave and aisles to the left, are later medieval with heavy Victorian restoration. The round-arched doorway to be seen on the left was re-erected here in the 1560s; it was salvaged from the demolished church of St Peter Dunstable on Cauldwell Street south of the river.
