18th November is Saint Mabena day. She was born c.AD 474 and died aged 76 on 18th November 550 allegedly trampled by a cow!
She was one of 24 children of Brychan Brycheiniog and his wife Gwladys, a large number of his children became saints.
She lived as a hermitress possibly at Treveglos [church farm] which was a group of buildings beyond the farm now with the same name on the St Tudy road.
