knot Examples of Knots in Cornwall knot

In 2003, I went to St Ives, Cornwall for a holiday. I didn't see any old stone crosses, but there were some small celtic knots in the roof bosses of St Ives parish church, dedicated to St Ia. I think the roof is medieval. I have made coloured versions of these as well to show where the strings go.

knot 		This was on a leaflet about the Tregellas Tapestry, a modern tapestry about the story of Cornwall. The original is smoother than this. It is only one string, but I've changed the colouring halfway through to show the pattern.

This cross is a modern war memorial outside St Ia's Chruch in St Ives.
