    I was researching to the history of some local Welsh saints when I noticed that you named Cadfarch as the patron saint of Abererch, Pwllheli. It is his brother, Cawrdaf, who is the saint of Abererch, but both of them have wells in the parish. Both fought on the side of Modred against Arthur in Brwydr Camlan (King Arthur's last battle). Their brother was Cynfil, saint of the parish of Penrhos, three miles from Abererch.

    PLEASE correct the serious mistake when you refer to Abererch
    as being in WALES, ENGLAND. (They are two separate countries)

    Yours
