Church of St Brynach

Church dedicated to Brynach, although Browne Willis gives Bernard, whose name has also been substituted in the case of the well and well chapel nearby to the east in the same parish. Browne Willis correctly notes the feast day of 7 April (Brynach), which seemingly confirms the mistake. The associated well, attested earlier than the dedication of the church, provide better evidence for the existence of the cult of Brynach here in the medieval period.
