Both Browne Willis and A.W. Wade-Evans agree on the dedication of the church. Browne Willis notes that the feast day occurs on 8 October, which aligns the cult of Cynog at the church with the same Cynog in Breconshire, whose feast day also falls on or close to this date according to various sources.
