Does anyone know of tin exports from Cornwall/Devon districts during the
early 1500s - 1550s? I'm particularly interested in the time of John
Leland's visits to Cornwall (1536 and 1542) but would welcome any
information on tin exports during this era, particularly to Italy.

Wendy Child's works on Hispano-English and Luso-English trade has been
suggested to me but unfortunately I have not been able to access this. Does
anyone have any other suggestions?

Also, would China Clay (from Cornwall) have been exported at that time?

I'd like some feedback on this as soon as possible please.

Cheers
