Overview

History & significance

The remains of the Chapel of St Ia and adjacent cell is an early medieval religious site located in Cornwall, England. The chapel is traditionally associated with Saint Ia, an early Christian saint whose cult was established in the early medieval period, and the presence of an adjacent cell suggests a monastic or eremitic settlement pattern typical of the Celtic Church in south-west England. The site survives today as fragmentary structural remains that reflect the modest scale of early medieval ecclesiastical buildings in the region. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument in recognition of its historical importance to understanding early Christian settlement and religious practice in Cornwall.
