Superb and unmistakable church in St Ives, Cornwall. The 80ft tower dominates the town. The inside is well kept, prayerful and had an excellent standard of liturgy. The organist is also top notch and encourages a strong Anglican musical tradition. Of note beyond the beautiful interior is that this church was built via a special papal degree and at such a precise time just before the Reformation that it is the benchmark in dating other features of West Cornwall churches.

St. Ia's is a lovely little Anglican-Catholic parish church in the heart of St. Ives and worth a short visit. The inside I wouldn't call spectacular, but it has a warm atmosphere to it, and the café will offer you prices that compare favourably to the coffee joints in the neighbourhood. The extremely welcoming volunteers will inform you about the history of the church and St. Ives.

Beautiful church at a beautiful spot in the heart of the city. St. Ives is a little busy in the summer, so we stayed in Carbis Bay. It is only a 10 minute drive to St. Ives and we have been there regularly.

Very peaceful church with beautiful inside carving and stone work. Also has an outdoor space for teas and light refreshments with views across the harbour.

This central church is free to enter though donations appreciated. There is not tons to see but worth a brief look when nearby.

"High" church, quite plain inside but look up at the roof and admire the decoration. Lovely organ and free recitals.
