In St Ives there is an old well (spring) called “St Ia's Well”. It provided water for a St Ives neighbourhood, Downalong, until the year 1843. There is a feast day in St Ives in February, St Ives Feast, to commemorate the consecration of the church of St Ia the Virgin in 1434. There is a game of hurling. The little silver ball is blessed with water from the well. There is a chase and contest around the town. This year artist Allard Van Hoorn (from the Netherlands) came again in June to recreate the journey of the ball through the town – with a huge silver ball. He made sound recordings (all the noise of the town and the harbour) and turned them into music – number 63 Urban Songline. You can see the ball and hear the music in the Tate now.
