[edit] Market and St Neot's bones

Two points:

Anyone born in St Neots will have heard the story that it was actually only a finger bone of St Neot that was owned by the priory. This, we are told, was stolen from the complete skeleton of St Neot kept in the Cornish town of the same name. I have no idea if this is true or not.

At the other end of time, St Neots cattle market was certainly open until at least 1982. I used to go there with my grandad.

Thanks for those comments, both are useful. Maybe you'd like to go ahead and edit the article (be brave!). You could certainly change the cattle market text from '1960's' to 'late 1980s', and you could mention the finger bone too if you say something like, 'Many local people believe that...'. Go for it! Oh, and when you add material to an article discussion it's useful to put four tildes '~' at the end. When you save the page these are automatically replaced by your username and the date.

Thanks for the suggestions, this was the first time I'd ever added to a discussion, let alone edited a page. I'll do some more research on the two points I mentioned before editing. Jerryhat 14:54, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
