- St Ive
St Ive is a village in
Caradon District, south-eastCornwall ,UK . It is pronounced as 'Eve', and should not be confused with St Ives, the well-known seaside town in the far west of the county. The village is split into three parts: St Ive Keason, St Ive Parkfield and St Ive Church End.The parish used to be a large rural area of rolling landscape with wooded valleys and the population was sparse with the largest village being St Ive itself, sited on the A390. The demography of the parish was radically altered with the mid-Victorian mining boom centred around
Caradon Hill . South Caradon Mine situated just over the parish border was at one time the largest and most prosperouscopper mine in the world.Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse , politician and sociologist, and his sisterEmily Hobhouse , the social activist, were both born in St Ive.The village is named after
Saint Ive , one of the twenty-four children of St Brychan, a Welsh saint and king in the 4th century.External links
