St Neots Priory

St Neots Priory replaced a small Anglo-Saxon monastery at Eynesbury in which were housed the bones of Saint Neot, a revered Cornish monk who died around 877. The Priory Centre is located alongside the attractive riverbank of the Great Ouse in the heart of St. Neots town.

St Neots Priory was a Benedictine monastery beside the town of St Neots in the historic county of Huntingdonshire, now a non-metropolitan district in the English county of Cambridgeshire. A monastery was first founded here in about 974 by Earl Aelric (or Leofric) and his wife Aelfleda (or Ethelfleda), who granted it two hides of land, part of the manor of Eynesbury, later called the manor of St Neots. Its site is uncertain, though it may have been where the present parish church stands. It is said that the relics of the Cornish Saint Neot were obtained from Neotstoke (now St Neot) in Cornwall and brought to the priory in order that it might have relics to attract pilgrims; hence the name of the town.

Because it was an alien priory (i.e., the dependency of a French mother-house) it suffered difficulties whenever there were hostilities between France and England, and particularly during the Hundred Years' War. Its property was continually seized for this reason, until like certain other alien priories it was eventually given its independence from Bec in 1409 by the quasi-naturalisation process known as denization.

The priory was finally seized during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the buildings were pulled down.

The prior of St Neots in 1349 was William de Beaumont (he was elected that year).
