Historia
The parish of Saint Mary Magdalene is the ancient parish of Bermondsey. The parish church was probably founded by a local monastery. It remained the only parish in the area until 1840, when the parish of Saint James was established in response to the growing population of Bermondsey. Christ Church, Saint Paul, Saint Anne, Saint Crispin, Saint Augustine and Saint Luke all followed between 1845 and 1885. The medieval church building was rebuilt in the seventeenth century, and later added to and restored, particularly in 1883.
