St Ives has a spacious town centre, where some of the shops are still to the same layout as in the Middle Ages, one rod in width; the standard length for floor and roof joists. The lanes along the north side of town are believed to follow the layout of the narrow medieval fields, and are slightly S-shaped because of the way ploughs turned at each end. Similar field boundaries can be seen in Warners Park}}<noinclude> | St Ives has a spacious town centre, where some of the shops are still to the same layout as in the Middle Ages, one rod in width; the standard length for floor and roof joists.
