In 1143 Geoffrey de Mandeville expelled the monks, used the abbey as a fortress and considerably damaged the buildings. The abbey suffered for three centuries from disputes with the bishops of Ely over the manors of Chatteris and Somersham.[7] It paid 4,000 eels yearly to Peterborough Abbey for access to its quarries of limestone at Barnack.
