The bells on New Year's Day as heard from Mob Quad, just outside Merton's historic library.

We know that bell ringing at Merton was a cause of much consternation for fellows and students trying to study - the Merton College Archive contains copies of complaints from fellows who were disturbed in their studies by the same bells you can hear ringing here. #Merton@750 #HappyNewYear #bells
