Gwrhai
Saint Gwrhai was a 5th-century saint of Wales.
He is known from a 10th-century hagiography[1] and is of disputed historicity. He was reputedly the founder of the Church at Penstrowed, Montgomeryshire, and one at Caerleon.[2] He was a colleague of Deiniol[3] and was a son of Caw of Strathclyde.[4] He is supposedly buried in the churchyard at Penstrowed.[5]
