Life

Venerable Cinfic is named in the Book of Llandaff, in a grant by Caradog son of Rhiwallon made in the time of Bishop Herwald, consecrated in 1056: it speaks of "the four Saints of Llangwm", Mirgint, Cinficc, Huui and Eruen. There are two Llangwms in Monmouthshire. Nothing else is known of Cinfic but the name; he is an old saint, venerated in the undivided Church.
