The London Borough of Merton was formed in 1965. It incorporates four ancient Surrey parishes: Merton, Mitcham, Morden and Wimbledon
Merton Historical Society limits itself to the history of Merton, Mitcham and Morden, except where properties extended across parish boundaries. We are happy to leave Wimbledon's history in the safe hands of The Wimbledon Society.
