Everything about Eynesbury totally explained
Eynesbury is a settlement in
Cambridgeshire,
England. It forms part of present-day
St Neots, but before
1876 was a separate village.
For details of Eynesbury's history, which began in the
Saxon era, see the article
History of St Neots. Eynesbury takes its name from the Anglo-Saxon "Ernulf's Burgh". The only legacy which hinted at this, Ernulf School, has now changed its name to
St Neots Community College.
Eynesbury is made up of a number of different areas, the oldest area of which, around the Berkley Street/St Mary's Street area, predates any other part of St Neots. Indeed the town was originally called Eynesbury, until the establishment of the
priory after Benedictine monks stole the remains of
Saint Neot from the Cornish.
This theft had the backing of the royal court.
In the
1960s and
1970s, Eynesbury grew quickly thanks to
London overspill, along with various other parts of the town such as
Eaton Socon. The areas around Hardwick Road, Duck Lane, Sandfields Road, Howitts Gardens and Potton Road absorbed much of the "immigration" from the city, and for a number of years had a reputation for being "rough", although this has in recent years improved beyond recognition. It now has a reputation for being an affluent area with house prices soaring.
In the
1980s the Parklands estate was built, expanding Andrew Road and filling the gap between Potton Road and Barford Road. Most recently, the
Eynesbury Manor development, which includes
Eynesbury Marina, has been built between
St Neots Community College, formerly
Ernulf, and the
Tesco store by the bypass; and stretches to the
River Great Ouse to the west.
