title: Chatteris Abbey
text: Chatteris Abbey in Chatteris in the Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire was founded as a monastery for Benedictine nuns in 1016 by Eadnoth, Bishop of Dorchester on Thames. Before 1310 much of the monastery was destroyed by fire. By the middle of the 14th century, some of the local families appear to have been using the nave of the monastic church as their parochial church. Never a wealthy abbey, it survived the first wave of closures during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and was finally surrendered
