Life
Saint Myfor was, judging by the early forms of the church-name Llanover in Monmouthshire, its original patron, though the church now has Saint Bartholomew. The Mawr in Merthyr Mawr, Glamorgan, would be the same name. The author notes that "Merthyr" may here mean only a cemetery hallowed by the saint's relics, so it is not certain that Myfor was a martyr. No life survives. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
