St Cuby was the son of St Selevan and born in Callington, Cornwall, making him actually a Cornish saint. His father was a powerful chieftan and one legend suggests he was grandfather to King Arthur. His mother was called Wenna and was the sister of Nonna, the mother of St David the patron saint of Wales. Cuby became a monk, living in a cell for a while, next to the well at Tregony on the Roseland in Cornwall. However, this well is also dedicated to him . His name and those of his family vary depending on the Cornish or Welsh versions. He travelled extensively and in early life went to Rome and Jerusalem on pilgrimage. He also travelled throughout Cornwall preaching the gospel and establishing churches at Duloe (this one), Tregony, Cubert and Landulph.
However he is also known in Wales, founding churches and a monastery in Holyhead, Anglesy where he was buried. He died on 8.11.555AD.
