This statue, the work of Francis Bird, is the only one of Henry VIII in London. The inscription reads, "St Bartholomew’s Hospital, founded by Rahere anno 1102, refounded by K. Henry VIII 1546. This front was rebuilt anno 1702 in the first year of Queen Anne; Sir Wm. Prichard K[nigh]t and Alder[man], President; John Nicholl Esq., Treasurer." The inscription has the founding date of the hospital wrong -- it was actually 1123.

Henry VIII, who founded Trinity College in 1546, is in the niche over the Great Gate.

These houses incorporate parts of the gate house of the medieval Bermondsey Abbey. The tan house in the center has a "Gate House" plaque on it.
