Background
History
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, located on the A390. The hamlet of Woolston lies to the northwest of St Ive. The demography of the parish was radically altered with the mid-Victorian mining boom centred on Caradon Hill. South Caradon Mine situated just over the parish border was at one time the largest and most prosperous copper mine in the world. Until 1 April 2021 the parish was called St Ive, when it was renamed to "St Ive and Pensilva". Emily Hobhouse, the social activist, and her brother Leonard Hobhouse, the politician and sociologist, were both born in St Ive.
