I admit it! I am a history nerd. I like old things a with mysterious pasts. St. Ives has a couple of chapels that I learned were used by fishermen and sailors but also smugglers. It’s just the sort of thing people write books about. I took an early morning walk to find them and other hidden nooks and crannies difficult to find in the sea of summer tourist holidays.
Saint Leonard’s Chapel. The fisherman’s chapel of St. Ives.
This is the current St. Nicholas Chapel having been rebuilt in 1904 after being partially destroyed by the war office.
