Life

Tilull (Tylull) is mentioned in the Book of Llandaff, which names his church, Lann Tilull, and gives its boundary; the editors look for it at Sant y Nyl in Glamorgan. Nothing is known of the saint. The author notes that the name might hold Saint Nilus, abbot in Calabria, who died in 1005, perhaps brought by the Normans. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
