Life
Venerable Cwyfan (Cwyfen, Cofen) was the son of Brwyneu Hen, of the line of Caradog Freichfras, and his mother, Camell, came from Bod Angharad in Denbighshire. He is patron of three churches: Llangwyfan in Anglesey, Llangwyfan in Denbighshire and Tydweiliog in Caernarfonshire. The one in Anglesey, "the little church in the sea", stands on a rocky islet joined to the shore by a causeway that the tide sometimes covers. His feast was kept on the Sunday after 2 June.
