St Ives Hurling of the Silver Ball

On the feast of St Ia, the mayor of St Ives throws a silver ball from the church wall to a waiting crowd of children who then hurl it between themselves on the beach and through the town for the morning, the last survivor of a Cornish hurling tradition that once swept across the county and is now played annually in only two places.
