Life
Venerable Buddwal (Budgual or Budgualan) is named in the Book of Llandaff, in a grant to that church of the place Lann Budgualan in Erging. The place is represented today by the church of Ballingham, about eight miles south-east of Hereford, which is dedicated to Saint Dyfrig. Buddwal must have been one of the very early saints, before the sixth century, of whom no account has survived. He is venerated in the undivided Church.
