      The tin trade has often been suggested as lying behind the exceptional presence of early Byzantine goods in 5th- to 6th-century Cornwall & western Britain; pictured is a possibly 7th-century tin ingot with a cross mark from Praa Sands, Cornwall, now in @Cornwall_Museum.pic.twitter.com/DjQw8srNbk

      The church of St Ia on the harbour edge before the building of the West Pier in 1894; up until the 17th century 'there was a field between the churchyard wall and Porth Cocking rock, and sheep grazed upon it', but it was washed away by the sea...

          The 6th-century early Christian memorial stone of Senilus at St Just in Penwith; Andrea Harris has argued that St Just may be another imported early medieval cult, suggesting a link to the 4th-century St Justus who served as bishop of Lyon before retiring to Egypt as a hermit.pic.twitter.com/iwOP59UEEN

          The Red River just before it flows into St Ives Bay, Cornwall; the early medieval Gwithian site with its Byzantine imports lay a little inland from this point, within a wide landscape of deep deposits of wind-blown sand on the northern side of the Red River estuary.pic.twitter.com/kT6SjeqA0G

          St Ia had a shrine in Constantinople located right by the main imperial ceremonial entrance to the city, the Golden Gate; this shrine was apparently extensively and lavishly renovated by the Emperor Justinian (527–65): https://www.caitlingreen.org/2018/01/st-ia-of-st-ives-byzantine-saint.html …pic.twitter.com/xrCtkGT33l
