Nick Tracken This history of the local Church in St Neots is so detailed and interesting a journey, with an eye always to the wider perspective of national affairs, and its informative diversions - an altogether enjoyable read. The Revd Canon Melvyn Barnsley St Mary's parish church has stood at the centre of St Neots for over five hundred years, a testament to the strong religious beliefs of our medieval ancestors. From Anglo-Saxon beginnings to the dissolution of the monasteries and the later growth of nonconformity, David Rudd brings together national events and local people in a very readable book.
