Portion of wall on the west side of River Pickle between Merton High Street and Merantun Way, High Street, Wimbledon Village SW19 - Merton

Formerly part of the precinct wall to Merton Priory, consisting of medieval flint and rubblestone. Sections of the wall were in poor condition and had collapsed due to vegetation growth. The National Trust has developed a plan towards its conservation and long-term maintenance, with improved public access, in conjunction with Historic England, the Local Authority, Merton Local History Society and Merton Priory Trust. In 2020 Historic England awarded a Covid-19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund grant for emergency stabilisation work. Permanent repair works are at an advanced stage.
