The legendary origins of St Ives are attributed to the arrival of the Irish Saint Eia of Cornwall,
in the 5th Century AD. The parish church in St Ives still bears the
name of this saint, and the name St Ives itself is believed to be a
later anglicised corruption of that name.
The town was the site of a particularly notable atrocity during the Prayer Book rebellion of 1549. The English Provost Marshal came to St Ives and invited the portreeve, John Payne, to lunch at an inn. He asked the portreeve to have the gallows
erected during the course of the lunch. Afterwards the portreeve and
the Provost Marshall walked down to the gallows; the Provost Marshall
then ordered the portreeve to mount the gallows. The portreeve was then
hanged for being a 'busy rebel'.
Modern St Ives came with the railway in 1877, the St Ives Bay branch line from St Erth, part of the Great Western Railway. With it came the new generation of Victorian seaside holidaymakers. Much of the town was built during the latter part of the 19th century. The railway, which winds along the cliffs and bays, survived the Beeching axe
and has become a tourist attraction itself. St Ives hit the national
headlines on 28th July 2007, following a suspected sighting of a Great
White Shark.
