Gnawan

Saint Gnawan (Gnauan) was a disciple of Saint Cadoc, from Ireland. When Cadoc returned from there he brought a company of Irish and British clerics, among them Finnian, Macmoil and Gnawan, counted among the most learned. Later Cadoc sent him with Finnian and Elli to his father to turn him to a godly life. A Gnouan, abbot of the altar of Cadoc at Llancarfan, is among the witnesses to a grant in the Book of Llandaff. The church of Manorowen in Pembrokeshire may carry his name. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
