Admin/biog history
In existence by 1845. In the early years known as Buckden & Eynesbury Mission, Buckden Mission, and Buckden & St Neots Mission. Name changed to Eynesbury Mission in 1862 on loss of chapel at Buckden, then to Eynesbury, St Neots in 1868, and to St Neots Station in 1871. In 1873 it was considered that the station was not in a position to become a circuit with one preacher. Amalgamated with St Neots Wesleyans in 1933.
