Newlyn

Saint Newlyn (Nwyalen ach Selyf) was a Welsh saint of the 6th century. She was the daughter of Saint Gwen and of Selyf of Cornwall.

She founded a chapel near Ynysgynwraidd in Gwent, where a well and a bridge bear her name. In Cornwall she is known as Newlyn, and in Brittany as Noala, where several dedications are made to her. There a story is told of her that is very like that of Saint Winifred (Gwenffrewi).
