Neot
Neot is a saint of the 9th century who lived as a monk in Cornwall. He is mentioned in an interpolated passage in Asser's ''Life of King Alfred''〔Cornish Church Guide (1925) Truro: Blackford〕 and died around AD 870. He is venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches.
==Life==
Neot, who is said to have stood four feet tall,〔("St. Neot", Cornwall Tour )〕 seems to have begun his adult life as a soldier, later renouncing a martial lifestyle for life in a monastery.〔("Who was St Neot?", St Neots in Cambridgeshire )〕 He served as sacristan at Glastonbury Abbey but later lived in Cornwall, at first alone, then with a growing group of other monks near Bodmin Moor. He was remembered because of his good work in caring for the poor.
Tradition states that King Alfred visited him for his counsel and it is in a book about St. Neot that we read about King Alfred burning the cakes when hiding from the Danes at Athelney.〔
Two of the fifteen stained glass windows in the church of St Neot, Cornwall portray the saint: one of them consists of scenes from the life of the saint.
