People
St Ives has a rich list of characters. From twelve residents transported to Australia to our 'Nymphs of the Pave'. A basket weaver who invented the treaded tyre and lost a fortune. The master draper who achieved enough notoriety for several lifetimes. St Ivians who gave us Holt Island, the Jubilee Memorial and a manuscript detailing the town over more than a century. And the seventy-four heroes named on the War Memorial. To read more about St Ives people, select from the choices below.

This is an informative site and a great asset to those who have the privilege of living in St Ives, as well as to those who may well wish they did live here.
ReplyDeleteI have used this site often in checking out the names of individuals mentioned in my grandfather's diaries (Dr Reginald Grove 1869-1948) who lived and worked in St Ives most of his life, living in Slepe House (now the Grove Medical Practice). It's been useful for the biography I have published on his life - 'The Life and Times of a Victorian Country Doctor.' Peter Flower
