Description: | St Ives is a market town 6 miles east of Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. It is named after St Ivo or Ives, a Persian Archbishop who travelled to England as a missionary in the 7th century. All Saints, the medieval parish church of St Ives was started in the 12th century and since then has had a number of rebuildings. Part of the church was rebuilt in 1470 when the chancel walls were raised and the spire was blown down in 1741 and rebuilt in 1748.
