  History of the Parish | St Neots Parish Church
The Church of St. Neots was first served by chaplains whose names frequently appear as witnesses to charters in favour of the priory.
The name St. Neots, might possibly have been applied to a parochial altar in the nave of St. Neots priory, and in a bull of confirmation by Pope Celestine III in 1194 only the church of Eynesbury is mentioned.
Neots had been a supporter of the royalist cause and was a battleground in 1648 during the final stages of the Civil War when the Earl of Holland, retreating from Kingston, was finally taken prisoner.

 Houses of Benedictine monks: The priory of St Neots | British History Online
The foundation of the priory of St. Neots is so involved in legend that it is almost impossible to separate what is true in it from what is merely the work of imagination.
Whether they founded the house in honour of the relics of St. Neot, which had fallen into their hands, as the chronicler declares, by an unexpected piece of good fortune, or whether they built their monastery first, and obtained the relics by some means afterwards, is a matter of little moment.
The priory was endowed by Countess Roys with the whole manor of St. Neots, and the manor of Cratefield in Norfolk was given by other members of her family, with parcels of land and churches in the counties of Bedford, Cambridge, Suffolk and Northampton.

 St. Neots Town Council | About | History
St Neots, far less ancient than Huntingdon and St Ives, is barely 1,000 years old although its parent settlement, Eynesbury, is steeped in antiquity, having been in the past both a Roman and an Anglo Saxon garrison or fort.
St Neots was a town of which developed and thrived within the ancient villages in this region, remaining from its tribal origins to the present century a border settlement.
St Neots was, of course, in the heart of Cromwell country and in general supported his cause, although it was said that the town had rather more Royalist sympathy than most in Huntingdonshire.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/History of St Neots
St Neots is a town in Cambridgeshire, England, which originally developed next to a mediaeval priory in the form of market stalls.
Following St Augustine's mission to Britain in 597 CE, a mother church was built in Eaton to serve as a focus for a large area on the west bank of the Great Ouse, while at Great Paxton on the east bank, another church served an area including St Neots and Eynesbury.
Because the Priory was an 'alien house', that is, it belonged to a French order it suffered from intermittent confiscations during the Hundred Years' War from 1338, as well as the payment of an annual fee which amounted to over half their annual income.

 St Neots Priory Information
St Neots Priory was a Benedictine monastery in what is now the town of St Neots in the English county of Huntingdonshire.
It is said that the relics of the Cornish Saint Neot were obtained illicitly 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.
