Gwbert

Venerable Gwbert (Cubert) is a wandering saint of old, honoured at Gwbert-⁠on-⁠Sea, on the shore of the Teifi estuary in Ceredigion in Wales. He is said to have landed there and sheltered in a cave. The name of the place is thought to come from a Celtic dedication, that is, to Saint Cubert, which shows that a chapel once stood there.

Gwbert belongs to a group of five saints, the others being Pedrog, Briog, Carannog and Meugan, honoured through church dedications near the mouth of the River Teifi, then in churches close to each other in mid-⁠Cornwall, and again in neighbouring churches in Brittany. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally, without synodal canonization.
