Life
Saint Llecheu occurs in the late lists of Brychan's sons. He is said to have a church at Llanllecheu in Ewyas (partly in Herefordshire), unidentified, and to be connected with Llangan (Tregaian) in Anglesey. A sixteenth-century manuscript makes him a saint at Talyllechau (Talley), but the author takes this for a guess. The name Llacheu was also borne by a son of King Arthur. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
