Malden Manor

Malden Manor is a manor house located in the Old Malden area in the borough of Merton, London, England.[citation needed]

The Grade II listed Manor House, next to St John's, is also mentioned in the Domesday Book.[citation needed] In 1264 Walter de Merton, Bishop of Rochester, founded a college here that was later moved to Oxford as Merton College.[citation needed] The house was later used as a court in the reign of Henry VIII, and in the mid 18th century the house was the home of Captain Cook.[citation needed] In 1852 the Hogsmill River was the setting for the background of Ophelia painted by John Everett Millais.[citation needed]
