WAS daughter to an Irish nobleman, and a disciple of St. Barricus; Iae
and Erwine, and many others, came out of Ireland into Cornwall, and
landed at Pendinas, a stony rock and peninsula. At her request Dinan, a
lord of the country, built there a church, since called St. Ies,
eighteen miles from St. Piran's in the Sands, on the Severn. St
Carantoke's is two miles above St. Piran's. Ies stands two miles from
Lannant; St. Erth is a parish church two miles above Lannant. St. Cua and
St. Tedy's parishes are situated in the same part. St. Lide's island,
where her tomb was formerly visited by the whole country, still retains
her name. See the life of St. Ia quoted by Leland, Coll. t. 3, p. 11.
