 The bracelet is mentioned several times in the charters of St Bees Priory; one instance is in the middle of the 13th century, when an oath was taken by John of Hale "having touched the sacred things ... and upon the bracelet of St Bega".An account roll from as late as 1516/1517 records offerings of 67s.9d to the bracelet of St Bega; so the cult and the relic were still a going concern at that late time.
