Life
Enddwyn is the patron of the church of Llanenddwyn in Merionethshire. The Iolo manuscripts mention him once as a son of Hywel Farchog, of the line of Emyr Llydaw. The saint is sometimes taken to be a woman, Santes Enddwyn. Local tradition says that she, sick, was healed in the water of a nearby spring, and the spring, Ffynnon Enddwyn, remained a place of healing, where visitors left crutches and pins. No other facts and no feast day are known. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
