Eventually, in 1436, Henry VI with the aid of Pope Eugenius IV seized the advowson from the Abbot and Convent of Vercelli and gave it to King's Hall, Cambridge (though this was not confirmed by the Bishop of Ely until 24 May 1450); thus two centuries of Italian ‘rule' at Chesterton came to an end.

However, for a tunnel to reach right to any of the other nearby abbeys it would have had to burrow right beneath the wide river Cam, which seems a little unlikely, since the others lay to the East on the other side.
Swaffham Priory and Abbey to Fordham Abbey is some six miles for example, although the Swaffham site to Anglesey Abbey, a distance of about two miles, does sound just about possible for a tunnel.
Spinney Abbey, one of those frequently said to be haunted, another former religious site turned farm, is further away still, just north-east of Wicken Fen,so an even less likely tunnel candidate.
