St Ives is a market town originally known as Slepe from old English for 'slippery place' being on the Great Ouse and about five miles east of Huntingdon. The town is famous for its medieval bridge built by the abbots of Ramsey and the chapel to one side of the six-arched bridge across the river. In the 19th century the bridge chapel was enlarged and converted into a house. There is a statue of Oliver Cromwell in the market place and he once lived at Slepe Hall in the town which has since been demolished. At one time he championed the people of St Ives against enclosures by the earl of Manchester.
