Ben M. Angel notes:

Someone had placed as a baptismal location "Bermondsey Abbey". One other online source (LDS, so I hesitate to use it as any authority) identified the baptismal place as St. Mary Magdalene Church in Bermondsey (apparently the 13th century church that stood on the site of the present St. Mary Magdelene Church, which was torn down and rebuilt 1680-1690). This would make more sense since abbeys didn't normally carry out baptisms - as I understand it, usually baptisms were relegated to parish churches. Would welcome clearer documentation of the baptismal site.
