Ceneu
Welsh saint and bishop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Ceneu (Old Welsh: Keneu) was an early bishop of Menevia (St Davids) in Wales in the sixth century. Giraldus Cambrensis, writing in the twelfth century, stated that Ceneu was the third bishop.[1]
He is said to have been the son of Corun ap Ceredig[2] or Coel Hen. He established a church or monastic community (clas) at the site of the current settlement of Clydau in North Pembrokeshire which was long known as Llangeneu (Church of Ceneu) in his honour.[3] No traces of the settlement are known to survive, and are thought to have been destroyed when there was significant immigration by Flemings settling into the area.[1]
