St. Neots is a town in
Cambridgeshire,
England. It is named after the
Saxon monk St. Neot whose bones were houses in a nearby
monastery. The pilgrim trade brought prosperity for the town, and it was granted a market charter in 1130. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the town enjoyed further prosperity through corn milling, brewing, stagecoaching, and
railways.
