Merton Street tennis court
Merton Street tennis court is the home of the Oxford University Real Tennis Club. It stands on the north side of Merton Street in central Oxford, England, and forms part of Merton College.
There has been a tennis court in Oxford since 1450 and one at the Merton Street site since c. 1494, according to [1]. Alternatively, according to [2], Oxford has had a court since 1595 and one at this site since 1798.
The Merton Street court, being early, has somewhat non-standard dimensions, and in particular an unusually flat tambour (a buttress used as part of the court).
