Pope died of plague in 1558. The house had been in Thomas Radclyffe, the Third Earl of Sussex’s hands as a residence by 1570 when Queen Elizabeth visited him there, and some of the buildings on the site were used as a hospital and for general relief during his time. Sussex took treatment there himself in 1575 (age 50). Neither the house nor the Abbey still stand. By 1822, "The Morning Post" reported that all that remained was 'a solitary fragment or two of stone wall, in what is called King John's Court, together with a few old buildings'. Houses on nearby Grange Walk also incorporate some of the Abbey’s remains. Within the structure of the late 17th century Grade II-listed houses numbered 5, 6 and 7 is part of one side of the late medieval stone gatehouse. At number 7 is the chamfered south jamb of the gateway with two wrought-iron gate-hooks projecting from the wall and a ‘Gatehouse’ sign. The remains of the south-western tower of the abbey church can be seen below the glass floor of the Del'Aziz restaurant and bar on Bermondsey Square. In 1904, during construction in Abbey Street, two stone coffins with human remains were found ten feet below the ground with six more burials, without coffins, above them and close by. Parts of the Abbey's foundations were also unearthed. In 1932, the consecration stone of the Abbey was discovered by a workman at a petrol station in Tower Bridge Road where it had been placed in the foundations of a later building. The site at Bermondsey Square has been extensively redeveloped with archaeological excavations undertaken in 2005–6 by English Heritage. It provided PCA an opportunity to undertake a number of excavations on the site along Abbey Street, most recently in early 2006. Another part of the site is to be excavated along Tower Bridge Road.
