Bermondsey Abbey
Bermondsey Abbey. See also 80.501/469 for similar content. It was founded in 1082 and "surrended to Henry VIII in 1537-8 when the abbot was given a pension and later made Bishop of Hereford. The abbey buildings were sold and pulled down and the materials used to build Bermondsey House (since demolished). The only remnant of the abbey is some stonework of the East Gate (demolished 1760) within 7 Grange Walk where some hinges can be seen. The 300' nave lay along the line of Abbey Street with the crossing at the present Tower Bridge Road junction. . . " - http://www.london-footprints.co.uk/wkbermondseyadd.htm
