Merton College, Oxford

In 1356 John Wycliffe achieved an arts degree from Merton College. In the same year he wrote a treatise called 'The Last Age of the Church'. At that time the Black Death, a global pandemic, was raging through Europe and Asia.  John Wycliffe believed it heralded the end of the world. He saw it as a result of God's judgement  on a wayward clergy.
