Merton Street tennis court
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Merton Street Tennis Court, almost opposite Merton College, is the home of the Oxford University Real Tennis Club.
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.
