Life

Saint Mwchwdw (also Bwchwdw) had a chapel, Bettws Bwchwdw, on a rise near Parys Mountain in the parish of Rhosybol in Anglesey; today only the foundations remain, and a gravestone used as a doorstep. Leland calls it Bettws Machwdo. Local people know nothing of the saint. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
