Parish, Vestry and Local Government
The first 'Bermondsey' is that known as the location of an Anglo-Saxon monastery, and known from later charters to be the area around the post-Conquest Bermondsey Abbey and its manor, which was in turn part of the medieval parish. The History of Anglo-Saxon England covers the history of Early medieval England from the end of Roman Britain and the establishment of Anglo-Saxon This article concerns the buildings occupied by monastics. For the life inside monasteries and its historical roots see Monasticism. Bermondsey Abbey was an English Benedictine monastery Most widely known as an 11th century foundation it had a precursor mentioned in the early 8th century and was centred References in the Parliamentary Rolls describe it as "in Southwark". {[1]} A later, Victorian civil parish of Bermondsey did not include Rotherhithe or St Olave's; this was the arrangement under the Metropolis Management Act of 1855. A civil parish in the United Kingdom is a unit of local government. The Southwark parishes of St Olave's and St John's Horsleydown (the latter a 'daughter' of the former) with St Thomas's formed a parish union ('District Board of Works') known as 'St Olave's' from that date. St John Horsleydown was the Anglican parish church of Horsleydown in Bermondsey, Southwark. This was the arrangement within the London County from 1889. In 1899 St Olave and St Thomas's District was created as a single civil parish and the next year, following London government reorganisation, this was merged with Rotherhithe and part of Deptford to form, with Bermondsey civil parish, the Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey. The Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey was a Metropolitan borough in the County of London, created in 1900 by the London Government Act 1899. This borough disappeared into the London Borough of Southwark, in the Greater London reorganisation of 1964.
Parts of Southwark (between London Bridge and Tower Bridge, most notably Hays Galleria), Tooley Street and Camberwell (Old Kent Road) are often mistakenly assigned to Bermondsey. The present council has divided the borough into 'Community Council' areas and has promoted signage for identity. These are based for convenience on the current wards, and therefore 'Borough and Bankside' (old Southwark) intrudes into Bermondsey Street, the oldest part of Bermondsey. The Community Council named 'Bermondsey' comprises the wards of Riverside (effectively Rotherhithe), Grange, and South Bermondsey (areas south of Lower Road).
Parliamentary Representation
Bermondsey's Parliamentary representation has fluctuated with its population. After the 1832 Reform Act it became part of the Southwark constituency, as a result of which the main public park in Bermondsey is called 'Southwark Park'. During the 20th century Bermondsey had distinct representation as the so called 'Bermondsey' seat, which included part of the older Southwark constituency. In 2003, boundary changes merged it with Southwark, and this was reflected in name change to North Southwark and Bermondsey. Southwark North & Bermondsey is a Parliamentary Constituency in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that was created in 1997
History
Anglo-Saxon and Norman period
Bermondsey may be understood to mean 'Beornmund's island'; but, while "Beornmund" represents an Old English personal name, identifying an individual once associated with the place, the element "-ey" represents Old English "eg", for "island", "piece of firm land in a fen", or simply a "place by a stream or river". Thus Bermondsey need not have been an island as such in the Anglo-Saxon period, and is as likely to have been a higher, drier spot in an otherwise marshy area. [2]
Though Bermondsey's earliest written appearance is in the Domesday Book of 1086, it also appears in a source which, though surviving only in a copy written at Peterborough Abbey in the 12th century, reliably describes earlier events. The Domesday Book (ˈduːmzdeɪ bʊk also known as Domesday, or Book of Winchester) was the record of the great survey Peterborough Cathedral, or the Cathedral Church of St Peter St Paul and St Andrew, is the seat of the Bishop of Peterborough, is dedicated to Saint Peter This is a letter of Pope Constantine (708-715), in which he grants privileges to a monastery at Vermundesei, then in the hands of the abbot of Medeshamstede, as Peterborough was known at the time. Constantinus (died April 9, 715) was Pope from 708 to 715 He was a Syriac by birth and was consecrated pope on March 25, 708 Medeshamstede (miːdsˈhæmstɛd was the name of Peterborough in the Anglo-Saxon period [3]
Bermondsey appears in Domesday Book as Bermundesy and Bermundesye. It was then held by King William, though a small part was in the hands of Robert, Count of Mortain, the king's half brother, and younger brother of Odo of Bayeux, then earl of Kent. William I of England ( 1027 His reign which brought Norman culture to England had an enormous impact on the subsequent course of England in the Middle Ages Robert Count of Mortain was the half-brother of William I of England. Odo of Bayeux (c 1036 &ndash February 1097 Palermo) Norman Bishop and English earl was the half-brother of William the Conqueror, and was for Its Domesday assets were recorded as including 13 hides, 'a new and handsome church', 5 ploughs, 20 acres of meadow, and woodland for 5 pigs. The hide was a unit used in assessing land for liability to " Geld " or land tax in Anglo-Saxon England from the 7th to the 11th centuries The plough ( American spelling plow; both plaʊ is a Tool used in Farming for initial cultivation of soil in preparation for sowing seed A meadow is a field vegetated primarily by Grass and other non- Woody plants.

Burgess is an English word that originally meant a freeman of a Borough or Burgh. £sd (pronounced and sometimes written Lsd) was the popular name for the pre-decimal currencies ( sterling) used in the United Kingdom and 18). [4]
The church mentioned in Domesday Book was presumably the nascent Bermondsey Abbey, which was founded as a Cluniac priory in 1082, and was dedicated to St Saviour. Bermondsey Abbey was an English Benedictine monastery Most widely known as an 11th century foundation it had a precursor mentioned in the early 8th century and was centred The Abbey of Cluny (or Cluni, or Clugny, pronunciation klyˈni is an abbey in France. Prior is a Title, derived from the Latin adjective for 'earlier first' with several notable uses Monks from the abbey began the development of the area, cultivating the land and embanking the riverside. They turned an adjacent tidal inlet at the mouth of the River Neckinger into a dock, named St Saviour's Dock after their abbey. The River Neckinger is a Subterranean river that rises in Southwark and flows through London to St Saviour's Dock where it enters the River St Saviour' Dock is a small dock on the south bank of the River Thames, London. But Bermondsey then was little more than a high street ribbon (the modern Bermondsey Street), leading from the southern bank of the Thames, at Tooley Street, up to the abbey close.
The Knights Templar also owned land here and gave their names to one of the most distinctive streets in London, Shad Thames (a corruption of "St John at Thames"). The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici commonly known as the Knights Templar or the Order Shad Thames is a picturesque and historic riverside street next to Tower Bridge in Bermondsey, London, UK, and is also an informal name Other ecclesiastical properties stood nearby at Tooley (a corruption of "St Olave's") Street, located in the Archbishop of Canterbury's manor of Southwark, where wealthy citizens and clerics had their houses, including the priors of Lewes and St Augustine's, Canterbury, and the abbot of Battle. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the chief bishop and principal leader of the Church of England, the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the Lewes Priory ( St Pancras Priory Lewes) was a Cluniac Priory established in the valley of the river Ouse in the eleventh century St Augustine's Abbey was a Benedictine Abbey in Canterbury, Kent, England. Battle Abbey (actually named St Martin's Abbey is a partially ruined Abbey complex in the small town of Battle in East Sussex, England.
14th century
King Edward III built a manor house close to the Thames in Bermondsey in 1353. Edward III (13 November 1312 &ndash 21 June 1377 was one of the most successful English monarchs of the Middle Ages. The excavated foundations are visible next to Bermondsey Wall East close to the Famous Angel public house. [5]
17th century
As it developed over the centuries, Bermondsey underwent some striking changes. After the Great Fire of London, it was settled by the well-to-do and took on the character of a garden suburb especially along the lines of Grange Road, as Bermondsey Street became more urbanised, and of Jamaica/ Lower Road. This article is about the Great Fire of 1666 For other great fires in London see Early fires of London or Second Great Fire of London. A pleasure garden was founded there in the 17th century, commemorated by the Cherry Garden Pier. As a means of recording the passage of Time, the 17th Century was that Century which lasted from 1601 - 1700 in the Gregorian calendar Samuel Pepys visited "Jamaica House" at Cherry Gardens in 1664 and recorded in his diary that he had left it "singing finely". Samuel Pepys, FRS (23 February 1633 – 26 May 1703 was an English naval administrator and Member of Parliament, who is now most famous for
Though not many buildings survive from this era, one notable exception is the church of St Mary Magdalen on Bermondsey Street, completed in 1690 (although a church has been recorded on this site from the 13th Century). St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey is a Anglican church dedicated to St Mary Magdalen in Bermondsey in south London This church came through both 19th-century redevelopment and The Blitz unscathed. The Blitz was the sustained bombing of Britain by Nazi Germany between 7 September 1940 and 10 May 1941 in World War II. It is not just an unusual survivor for Bermondsey; buildings of this era are relative rarities in Inner London in general. Inner London is the name for the group of London boroughs which form the interior part of Greater London and are surrounded by Outer London.
18th century
In the 18th century, the discovery of a spring in the area led to Bermondsey becoming a spa leisure resort, as the area between Grange and Jamaica Roads called Spa Road commemorates. The 18th century lasted from 1701 to 1800 in the Gregorian calendar, in accordance with the Anno Domini / Common Era numbering system A new church was built for the growing population of the area, and named St John Horsleydown. St John Horsleydown was the Anglican parish church of Horsleydown in Bermondsey, Southwark.
19th century

Turner executed his famous painting of The Fighting "Temeraire" Tugged to her Last Berth to be Broken Up (1839), depicting the veteran warship being towed to Rotherhithe to be scrapped.

By the mid-19th century parts of Bermondsey, especially along the riverside had become a notorious slum - with the arrival of industrial plants, docks and immigrant housing. The 19th century of the Common Era began on January 1, 1801 and ended on December 31, 1900, according to the Gregorian calendar The area around St Saviour's Dock, known as Jacob's Island, was one of the worst in London. Jacob's Island was a notorious rookery in Bermondsey, on the south bank of the River Thames in London. It was immortalised by Charles Dickens's novel Oliver Twist, in which the principal villain Bill Sikes meets a nasty end in the mud of 'Folly Ditch' - the scene of an attack by Spring Heeled Jack in 1845 - surrounding Jacob's Island.

- ". . . crazy wooden galleries common to the backs of half a dozen houses, with holes from which to look upon the slime beneath; windows, broken and patched, with poles thrust out, on which to dry the linen that is never there; rooms so small, so filthy, so confined, that the air would seem to be too tainted even for the dirt and squalor which they shelter; wooden chambers thrusting themselves out above the mud and threatening to fall into it - as some have done; dirt-besmeared walls and decaying foundations, every repulsive lineament of poverty, every loathsome indication of filth, rot, and garbage: all these ornament the banks of Jacob's Island.

The industrial boom of the 19th century was an extension of Bermondsey's manufacturing role in earlier eras. As in the East End, industries that were deemed too noisome to be carried on within the narrow confines of the City of London had been located here - one such that came to dominate central Bermondsey, away from the riverfront, was the processing and trading of leather and hides.
