[1] The corporation ceased to have any role in civil administration from 1855 when the St Saviour's District was created.

At his death he left the land and properties in Park Street for development of almshouses for the poor of the parish.

The charity still owns the properties on this land right by Borough Market, and uses the rent from the various commercial pubs, shops and homes to fund its work.

The original almshouses lasted until 1868 when the new railway line into London Bridge Station forced their move to West Norwood.

These buildings stood until 2006 when they were sold for redevelopment, and the new almshouse was opened at St Saviour's Court in Purley, south London.

The charity's almshouses at St Saviour's Court and Hopton's Gardens provide 73 residential units for people usually older than 65 years of age.
