Abbey buildings, Bermondsey is a Scheduled Ancient Monument comprising the surviving structures of Bermondsey Abbey, a Cluniac priory founded in the eleventh century in what is now south London. The abbey was established around 1082 as a daughter house of the Norman monastery at Cluny and became one of the major religious institutions in medieval Surrey before its dissolution in 1538. The surviving remains include sections of the abbey church and conventional buildings, which demonstrate the scale and architectural ambitions of the priory during its medieval development. The site represents an important example of monastic settlement from the Norman and medieval periods and has been subject to archaeological investigation to understand its layout and evolution over five centuries of religious occupation.
