Bermondsey Abbey, 19th century (1906). Bermondsey Abbey was an English Benedictine monastery. A monastery is known to have existed at Bermondsey before 715 AD. In December 1154, King Henry II (1133-1189) and Eleanor of Aquitaine (1124-1204), held court at Bermondsey Priory. A few weeks later, on 28 February 1155, the royal couples second child, Prince Henry was born there. Henry VIII (1491-1547) dissolved the abbey c1540, granting the property and its lands to Robert Southwell (1506-1559). Southwell sold the buildings to Thomas Pope (c1507-1559), founder of Trinity College, Oxford. Pope demolished the abbey and built a house on the land. Neither the house nor the Abbey remained in 1822. From Medieval London, Vol. II - Ecclesiastical by Sir Walter Besant. [Adam & Charles Black, London, 1906]
