John Hobson Matthews’ book, running to 560 pages, was the first printed history of the St. Ives district. In 34 chapters he covered a wide range of historical matters including the Borough Accounts from 1570 to 1776, local families, notabilities, churches, elections, customs, place names, to mention a few of his topics – a mine of information.
When 500 copies went on sale in 1892 in Mr. James Uren White’s shop in Fore Street for £1.12.6d (roughly equivalent to £120 today) they did not make the best-seller lists. Seven years later Mr. White was advertising copies ‘new and uncut’ for sale in his shop for under half price. The book is now a scarce volume, much sought after at home and abroad, and copies which turn up at auctions or in booksellers’ lists sell quickly at high prices.
A St. Ives resident generously gave a copy to the St. Ives Trust Archive Study Centre. As the copy needed restoration the opportunity was taken to reproduce the book, as far as technically possible, in its original form as produced by the printers Elliott Stock of 62 Paternoster Road, London, in 1892.
The new edition includes a ‘Foreword’ written specially for this volume by Professor Charles Thomas CBE; also corrections and additions which Matthews intended for inclusion in a second edition, contained in his personal copy of the book and kindly made available by the present owner. Reference is also made to extensive unpublished notes made by R. Morton Nance in his personal copy and transcribed by Cyril Noall, and a biography by Tom Richards, covering Matthews’ family origins, his life and his important work as a Cornish and Welsh historian and Bard of the Gorsedd of Wales, as well as a portrait of Matthews.
AUTHOR J.H. Matthews
Born in Croydon in 1858 John Hobson Matthews can trace his family connection with St. Ives back to 1725 and probably through Norfolk to Pierre le Mathieu a French Huguenot who escaped via the Low Countries in 1545. In 1725 Thomas Mathews followed his employer, Sir John Hobart M.P., from his residence Blickling Hall in Norfolk to Cornwall where the family remained until the authors father, John Thomas, moved to London in 1832. John Hobson Matthews was educated at schools in Blackheath and Cambridge and was received into the Catholic Church in 1877 and showed an early interest in antiquities and church matters. He learned nine languages including Cornish. He was trained as a Solicitor but gave up this career in 1893 on being appointed Archivist for the Cardiff Corporation. Although not born in St. Ives he had a great love for the town and wrote many books about the area and his family connections.

It can be said that St Ives is the birthplace and source of our Gorsedd. The first Old Cornwall Society was created here in 1920 by Henry Jenner and Robert Morton Nance. In 1928 the Cornish Gorsedd was established with Jenner as the first Grand Bard with Nance as his deputy. Prior to that bards from Cornwall, including a St Ives bard, had been barded at the Welsh Gorsedd.
For the first fifty years of Gorsedd the bards were so well known that our forerunners did not keep records. However many are now forgotten. This work recalls the achievements of fifty-two Cornish Bards (now deceased) with links to St Ives, among them are artists who have contributed to St Ives worldwide fame as a centre for the arts.
This is the history of the Edward Hain Memorial Hospital in St. Ives which was opened in 1920. It was written at a time when its future was uncertain due the financial restraints by the Health Authority. Due to the efforts of the community it was saved and is still an important amenity in the town.
Mary Quick is well known for her stories, which have appeared in the local press for many years. A Bard of the Cornish Gorseth, Mary’s bardic name ‘Ow Melder’ caused great amusement when it was announced. It translates as ‘My Honey’; it is both Mary’s mother’s Williams family nickname and commemorates Mary’s bee keeping experiences.

THE STORY OF TATE ST IVES
The history of the campaign for and the building of The Tate Gallery in St. Ives from early plans in 1993 to the day the gallery opened in June 1988.
The story begins at the end of the First World War when the town first had the idea of creating an art gallery to commemorate the men who had died in the war. It continues with various other unsuccessful attempts to provide a permanent home for St. Ives art, and then the impetus that was needed to raise the projects profile follow up the St. Ives exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London in 1985.One of the central chapters covers the history of the land at Porthmeor on which the gallery was built from 1835 when plans were made to provide the town with gas lighting. The book also details the public concerns that were raised during the gallery’s development.
AUTHOR Janet Axten
Janet Axten was born in London and moved to St. Ives from Birmingham in 1985. She obtained a First Class Honours Degree in the arts with the Open University and was the coordinator of the St. Ives Tate Action Group which raised £135,000 towards the building of Tate St. Ives which opened in 1993. Her close involvement with the planning of the Tate St. Ives and her association with all those who played a part in its development enabled here to write in depth about the gallery in its wider geographical and historical context.
In Homes and Households members of the Penwith local History Group (which is based in Penzance in West Cornwall) have gathered together some of their recent researches to present a fascinating account of a selection of local houses and of the families who have lived in them. Several of these articles have drawn on the memories of people still living, others have been deduced from surviving architectural and written sources. These insights will encourage both those people fortunate enough to live in this beautiful county and those visiting to look around them with renewed and informed interest. For those far away the book will help to enhance their appreciation of how their Cornish ancestors lived.

A 4000 YEAR OLD NURSERY RHYME?
As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives … This book asks questions about the famous nursery rhyme and finds surprising answers.
It wonders which St. Ives the rhyme refers to – Cornwall or Cambridgeshire? It describes very similar rhymes in German and Italian. It finds the rhyme has connections with an Ancient Egyptian papyrus of 1650BC, and a mathematics text of Early Medieval Italy. In summary, this is the story of the most extraordinary nursery rhyme.
AUTHOR Bridget Flanagan
The author lives in Hemingford Abbots near St. Ives Cambridge. She visited St. Ives in Cornwall as part of her research into the enigmatic text.
‘TRIP’, if you happened to be a Swindonian and one that worked inside the Great Western Railway’s Swindon Works, was the event of the year. When, in 1894, a party of some 500 made up of men from the Mechanics Institution and their families took the company’s gratis train to Oxford, they set a tradition that lasted for over 120 years.
Trip enabled the ‘trippers’ to travel initially allover the GWR system, then up and down the country and, in later times, even across the Channel to Europe. It was a masterpiece of management and in its heyday numbers up to 26.000 would leave Swindon in a matter of hours. Over the years Trip become part of the fabric of life for Swindon Works’ railway families and they invested it with their individual rituals and traditions. It was talked about with hushed breath and hopeful longing for many months before the event and is now remembered long years after with great fondness. One of the places visited regularly was the picturesque fishing village of St. Ives in Cornwall.
