Yes! Late 4th or 5th-century, probably the latter - mentioned it in my post on St Ia pinned to my profile :-) Lovely pics, btw!

You might be able to solve this mystery, entrance to St Uny’s church Lelant, tucked away behind notice board.pic.twitter.com/IqmNxdBb3r

It was presumably set up in 1801 by/for J. B. and S. How, but I fear I don't know who they might be!

My pleasure! I've had a quick look through the early burial records for the parish and can't spot anyone called How... Will have to go have a look at the inscription I think! :)

It does look older than early 19thC but it is difficult to tell absolutely because of the sign.

It's a v difficult question, the dating of such stones! There's a fab example from Trevalgan farm, St Ives; Okasha considered it an impossible-to-decipher 5th-11thC stone, but Charles Thomas pointed out that read the other way around it seemed to contain the date 1811...! :)pic.twitter.com/uVTzJP5xMW

Oh, excellent! I do love early graffiti; have some photographs of some of that from Tintagel cliff somewhere, utterly fascinating!
