St Neots Museum was opened in 1995, in what was the Old Court – a former police station and law court building in New Street
The museum presents the history of the busy market town of St Neots on the River Ouse, from prehistoric times onwards and includes the original early 20th century gaol cells where prisoners where detained.
Learn about the life of St Neot himself, about the medieval priory that once thrived here, and the Civil War battle of St Neots. Discover the story of the Great North Road and the coaches that made St Neot’s such an important staging post, and how the town changed with the coming of the railroad in 1851.
