Medieval church dedicated to Dochdwy, whose name also appears as Tocho, Doche or Dochan.
Although most sources point to a patron in some form of the name Dochdwy, both A.W. Wade-Evans and Baring-Gould & Fisher give Cyngar as the patron. In medieval texts Cyngar and Dogwyn are linguistically related and a correlation between the patron and someone called Cyngar is a possibility, as in the case of Llandough near Cardiff.More information
