Kimbolton

In the west of the district, on the road from St Neots into Northamptonshire, is a visually delightful and pretty little market town where the Market Square backs onto the Great Ouse river.
Its history goes back hundreds of years.

The Saxons called the place Cynebealdstun after its founder and, after the Normans, came fair and market charters, which led to the town's importance as a trading centre.

The church of St Andrews dates from the 13th and 15th centuries, although the font is a Saxon relic and there is a 16th century screen decorated with paintings of kings and angels.
King Harold probably worshipped at the original church on this site when he visited his nearby hunting lodge.
