Life

Saint Gwyngeneu (also Gwrgeneu or Gwylgeneu) was a son of Paul Hen, said to be from the North or from Manaw, and a brother of Saints Peulan and Gwenfaen, who have churches at Llanbeulan and Rhoscolyn in Anglesey. A chapel of his, Capel Gwyngeneu, stood in the parish of Holyhead and is now gone. His feast day is unknown. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
