found: Wikipedia, 8 April 2014(Bermondsey Abbey; an English Benedictine monastery; centred on what is now Bermondsey Square, the site of Bermondsey Market, Bermondsey, in the London Borough of Southwark, southeast London, England; precursor: an earlier monastery is known to have existed at Bermondsey before 715, likely continued at least until the 9th-century Viking invasions; in 1082, according to the "Annales Monasterii de Bermundeseia," a monastery was founded at Bermondsey by one Alwinus Child, with royal licence; highly likely that it was on the site of the earlier monastery; new monastery was dedicated to St Saviour; royal support for the new foundation continued with King William Rufus' gift of the royal estate at Bermondsey, in either 1089 or 1090; established as an alien, Cluniac priory through the arrival in 1089 of four monks from St Mary's of La Charité-sur-Loire; remained a Cluniac priory until the late 14th century; in 1380 Richard Dunton, the first English prior, paid to have Bermondsey's establishment naturalised; it set the priory on the path to independent status as an abbey, divorced from both La Charité and Cluny, which it achieved in 1390; in the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII, the abbey was handed over by the last abbot to the king in 1536)
