It also has an interesting WW1-era history. All Saints Church, St Ives, is a Grade 1 listed parish church with traces of an earlier building and a Norman Romanesque font. The church has a Kempe stained glass window. It is featured in Simon Jenkins 'England's Thousand Best Churches' as having a 'Theatrical Comper interior' and a 'steeple, high, elegant and with a gracefully tapering spire'.
On an evening in March 1918 a De Havilland DH6 took off from Hemingford Meadow and crashed into the spire.
