Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, 1897
What’s on
Local artist Michael Murfin has been documenting the progress of Highways England’s £1.5 billion scheme to upgrade the A14 between Cambridge to Huntingdon. This is the UK’s biggest road upgrade and Michael has produced a stunning series of new works which explore the wide variety of works involved in the upgrade from archaeological excavations to heavy construction work.
Recently donated to the museum is an old notice about the food provided to prisoners which makes rather grim reading! It is thought to have hung in St Neots Police Station before the First World War. The notice is too long to scan in one go so it is in two sections here
A vibrant new piece of art is taking shape on the side of the Pig and Falcon in New Street / Priory Lane, yesterday artist Dennis was busy painting the work which will read 'Soul' once complete.
Our next Eynesbury Ghost Walks are on Wednesday 16th January and Wednesday 13th February, tickets available now on Eventbrite:

Discover the ghosts who haunt this ancient area of St Neots on our evening walk. Eynesbury is the mother parish from which St Neots itself grew as pilgrims visited the shrine of St Neots before the Norman conquest of 1066. How well do you know this part of St Neots and what ghostly stories does the area hold?

Happy New Year from all at St Neots Museum! This stone head was hiding in our store and we hope to research its history in the New Year. Although the museum is closed to the public in January we will be hard at work cleaning and re-organising the museum - and the storage areas - ready to reopen in early February.
