Life

Saint Tangwn ab Caradog Freichfras, a son of Caradog Freichfras and the beautiful Tegau Eurfron, was a brother of Saints Cadfarch, Cawrdaf and Maethlu. The old genealogies make him patron of the little church of Llangoed in Anglesey, a church sometimes attributed to him jointly with Cawrdaf. His day is in no calendar; the festival of Llangoed is kept on 15 December. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
