ST. IVE (locally pronounced St Eve) is a parish and village, 4½ miles east-north-east from Liskeard, and 4½ miles west-south-west from Callington, in the Eastern division of the County, middle division of the hundred of East, Liskeard Union and county court district, rural deanery of East, archdeaconry of Cornwall, and diocese of Exeter, situated on the turnpike road from Callington to Liskeard and Bodmin, between the rivers Lynher and Tidi. The church of St Ivo is a handsome medieval building, partly in the Perpendicular and partly in the Decorated style; the chancel was restored in 1845, since which time other improvements have been made in the church; it has a chancel, nave, south aisle, north transcept, and granite tower with a cluster of three pinnacles at each angle, a massive south porch, a beautiful decorated east window, 5 bells, a monument to the Wrey family, date 1597, three handsome sedila, and on each side of the east window a particulary rich niche; there is a memorial window inserted 1852, on the south side of the chancel. The registers date from the year 1685. The living is a rectory, yearly value £437, with about 180 acres of glebe, in the gift of the Crown, and held by the Rev. Reginald Hobhouse, M A of Balliol College, Oxford. There is a National school for boys and girls in the village, as well as an Infant school. There are two chapels for Wesleyans, two for Bible Christians, and a United Methodist Church. There are charities of £12. 8s yearly value. In the south-east corner of this parish is a curious isolated hill, washed at its bases on two sides by the river Lynher; on its summit is an ancient encampment, probably British, called Cadson Bury. The Glasgow Caradon and the Great Caradon mines are in this parish. Sir Bourbier Wrey, bart., who is lord of the manor, Lady Ashburton, D Collins esq., Col.

The area is 5,780 acres; gross estimated rental, £6,192; rateable value, £5,???; and the population in 1861 was 2,952.
