It is noted for being one of only four bridges in England to incorporate a chapel. Prior to the first bridge here there was a ford across the Ouse. The St Ives was developed by the monks of Ramsey Abbey who built the town's first bridge, a wooden structure, in 1107. In 1414 it was decided to replace this bridge with a stone arch bridge, which was completed in 1425, adding the bridge chapel dedicated to St Leger in 1426. Such chapels served as toll-houses, as well as to allow travellers to pray. They also hosted church services. The bridge and the chapel are now Grade I listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
