St Neots has seen great changes during the last 50 years. In 1965 it absorbed and joined with the villages of Eaton Socon and Eaton Ford. It had already joined with the village of Eynesbury, thus creating the mass of modern day St Neots, the third largest development in the county, with Peterborough and Cambridge being the two largest.

For the interested or just curious, there are a number of books available which go into the History of St. Neots in much more detail. Many of these books are obtainable from the Tourist Information Centre and many of the artefacts that have been found here are available to view at the St. Neots Museum
