Church of All Saints, St Ives

The earliest recorded mention of the Parish Church of St Ives is in the Domesday Book, AD 1086. An old manuscript has the following note: “970 AD in the twelfth year of Edgar, surnamed Peaceful, Adnothus, Abbot of Ramsey, built St Ives Church, and dedicated to All Saints.” This original church would be small and probably of wood.
By about 1150 this had been replaced by a stone building of which the nave was about the same length as at present. In the thirteenth century a clerestory was added and also the south aisle and a chapel at the east end of the north aisle. In the fourteenth century the chancel was rebuilt with a vestry on the north side.
About 1470 an entire rebuilding took place. The church, therefore, now presents itself as chiefly of fifteenth-century date.
