Parliamentary troops and the cavalry marched into St Ives and were inspected in Market Hill by the St Ives Mayor Julie Kerr accompanied by Sarah Conboy, Leader of HDC. The Parish Church bells rang to warn of the arrival of the King’s Army who marched to Bridge Street where they met the Roundheads. Just before midday St Ives Bridge was blown up again!
That afternoon celebrations moved to Hill Rise Park where a Living History Village had been created. The following day another battle was held there. A fantastic weekend of festivities which will be remembered for a very long time was organised superbly by the St Ives Town Team.
