history

Several goods lying in today's municipal area were mentioned in 1086 in the Domesday Book . These include Appledore and Bicton, which at the time belonged to Roberts of Mortain , who was given the administration of Cornwall and a large number of lands by William I in 1076 . Trebeigh and Penharget belonged to the Benedictine Abbey of Tavistock . When Leofric, the last bishop of Cornwall from pre-Norman times, died in 1072 and was only followed by a relatively weak figure in Osbern FitzOsbern , this gave Robert von Mortain the scope to acquire several goods belonging to the Benedictines in Tavistock against their will, including also Trebeigh. After his death, the goods fell to his son William , who fell out of favor in 1104 and lost everything to the crown. Before 1199, Trebeigh came into the possession of the English tongue of the Order of Malta , which established a commander there. The parish churches of St Ive, Madron and St Cleer and their estates belonged to Trebeigh .

The South Caradon Mine, founded in 1836, led to a considerable increase in the population due to moving mine workers.

In May 1540, the English language of the Order of Malta was abolished and Trebeigh and its possessions fell to the English crown. St Ive retained its rural character with sparsely populated areas into the 19th century. This changed, however, when copper mining began in 1836 at the South Caradon Mine, which is near the border between the parishes of St Cleer and St Ive. Extracting 650,000 tons of copper in the first three decades, the mine was extremely successful and the largest in the region. The numerous mine workers found a largely uninhabited moorland in which new settlements were established in quick succession, including Pensilva, a district of St Ive. After the copper prices fell, mining was no longer profitable, so the mine was closed in 1890 and the population declined again. The former mine is part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape , which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2006.

Sons and daughters of the church

Emily Hobhouse (1860-1926)

The siblings Emily and Leonard from the family of Reginald Hobhouse, Anglican Archdeacon of Bodmin and rector of the church St Ive, were quite well known: Emily Hobhouse (1860-1926) was a political activist who, in particular, for the rights of internees of concentration camps in Boer War began. Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse (1864–1929), the youngest of the seven siblings, was a liberal politician and one of the theorists of modern liberalism .
