The Church of England, in the Diocese of TRURO:
WELCOME to
ST.IVES PARISH CHURCH
The massive Cornish Granite stones that form the TOWER of over 80ft. were brought from Zennor by sea and landed at the east end of the church where a field once existed. The PINNACLES rest on the backs of angels.
There are only two BELLS in the tower, cast at Hayle in 1830. The church is surrounded by houses so a full peal of bells would be popular with ringers but not with the neighbours! The CLOCK by J. B. Joyce replaced a single-handed clock in 1935.
The base of the tower may be part of an earlier church.
The TOWER WINDOW tracery is ancient - the 1863 glass depicts the story of Dorcas told in the Bible, Acts 9 vv. 36-43.
The TOWER ARCH is asymmetrical, due to lack of space when the south aisle was added slightly later.
