Cult of St Ia popular in early Byzantine period w/ church at Constantinople, so why not look for her there given 5-6thC imports to Cornwall?
Indeed, church of St Ia at Constantinople restored by Justinian I, who ruled at time Byzantine pottery was being exported to Cornwall...
@caitlinrgreen would imagine there would have been ore and metals going the other way, long history of naturalising religious figures
@T3_Stephen yes, definitely looking for the tin! And indeed, just find bit worrying hardly anyone notices that St Ia is major Byz saint too!
@caitlinrgreen I have a book sitting next me which may have something in it, how odd.
@T3_Stephen ooh, interesting---only one I've yet seen=Ken Dark's volume, otherwise ppl largely just go "otherwise unknown Irish Saint" etc!
