Life
Venerable Tanwg was one of those who came from Brittany to Wales in the sixth century around Saint Cadfan, a son of Ithel Hael, and became a member of the community of Bardsey Island. He is patron of the church at Llandanwg near Harlech in Gwynedd. According to a tradition recorded in 1720 the church was a resting place for bodies being carried to the holy burial ground on Bardsey. An inscribed stone of the fifth century was found there, which shows that the place was in use before him.
His feast is given as 10 October in the old calendars.
