St Ive

St Ive is a municipality in the former Caradon District of the county of Cornwall in England with 2121 inhabitants ( 2001). The municipality is bordered to the northwest by the Bodmin Moor belonging to St Cleer, on the north by Linkin Horne, on the east by the river Lynher, south and southwest of Quethiock at Menheniot. St Ive is located on the A390 between Callington and Liskeard, which largely follows the used in the Middle Ages route south ushered Tavistock on Bodmin Moor over to Cornwall.

The community is probably named after Saint Ivo, whose bones were discovered in 1001 in St Ives in Cambridgeshire. It should not be confused with the nearby town of St Ives in Cornwall, which is named after Saint Ia.

History

Several goods lying on the present municipality was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086. These include Appledore Bicton and that counted at the time of possession Roberts of Mortain, the 1076 left by William I the administration of Cornwall and a larger number of lands. Trebeigh and Penharget belonged to the Benedictine abbey of Tavistock. As the year 1072 passed with Leofric the last Bishop of Cornwall from pre- Norman times and followed him with Osbern FitzOsbern only a relatively weak figure, this gave Robert of Mortain the leeway to acquire several the Benedictines in Tavistock associated goods against their will, including also Trebeigh. After his death, the goods fell to his son William, but the 1104 fell from grace and lost everything to the Crown. Even before 1199 came Trebeigh in the possession of the English tongue of the Order of Malta, who set up an Coming there. To Trebeigh were the parish churches of St Ive, Madron and St Cleer along with the concomitant possessions.

In May 1540, the English tongue of the Order of Malta was lifted and Trebeigh fell along with the concomitant possessions of the English crown. St Ive kept its rural character with low population density, even into the 19th century. However, this changed in 1836 by the beginning of copper mining in the South Caradon Mine, which is located near the border between the municipalities of St Cleer and St Ive. With a reduction of 650,000 tons of copper within the first three decades of the mine was extremely successful and the largest within the region. The numerous miners found a widely uninhabited moorland, were founded in quick succession new settlements, including Pensilva, a suburb of St. Ive. After the fall of copper prices, the mining was no longer profitable, so that the mine was closed in 1890 and returned the population again. The former mine is part of the mining landscape of Cornwall and West Devon, which was included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2006.

Sons and daughters of the town

Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse (1864-1929), the youngest of seven siblings, was a liberal politician and one of the theoreticians of modern liberalism.
