St Neots Priory

|
St Neots Priory was built in Saxon times beside the River Great Ouse in the English county of Huntingdon. The town of St Neots was named after it and developed from a weekly market held against the Priory's southern wall. The Benedictine Priory was created and owned by the French Abbey of Bec, but was disbanded under Henry VIII as part of the dissolution of the monasteries. The last remaining structure, a gateway, was demolished in the late 18th century, but a plaque marks the position.
