St Ia, the Parish Church of St Ives, is fortunate to have many carved ends to its benches (or pews).  The present seating arrangement and plain bench ends date from the 1850s, and the changes are described in Faculties held at Kresen Kernow (Cornwall Archive, Redruth).  Pews of many sizes and heights were removed when the church was re-seated in 1853.
