    0.01 sec.

St Ives

Market town in Cambridgeshire, eastern England, on the River Ouse, 18 km/11 mi east of Huntingdon; population (2001) 16,000. There is a 15th-century church and a 15th-century bridge, in the centre of which is a restored two-storey chapel.

A priory was founded here in the 12th century. Historically, St Ives owed its importance to the annual St Ives Fair, first held in 1110.
