Mechell
Saint Mechell was the 6th century founder and first abbot of the ''clas'' (a type of early Welsh/Celtic monastery) of Llanfechell, on Anglesey in north-west Wales. St Mechell's day is celebrated on the 15th of November. It is claimed that he is buried in Llanfechell.
He was said to have been a Breton by birth. From the 14th century, he was identified with Saint Machudd, a Welshman and supposed Bishop of Caerwent who has been similarly confused with Saint Malo. Malo and Mechell both have November 15 as their feast day,〔Baring-Gould, S. & Fisher, John (1911), ''The Lives of the British Saints'', Vol III p.433 (us.archive.org )〕〔Farmer, David Hugh (1992) ''The Oxford Dictionary of Saints'', Third edition. OUP. p.316〕
A 17th-century manuscript, (Llanstephan MS. 125)〔 records a Welsh poem, "Cywydd i Fechell Sant". This describes St Mechell as the son of Echwys ab Gwyn Gohoew.〔(Menter Mechell History Society. Church ) Accessed 30 April 2012〕 It goes on to claim many miracles from his life including raising a giant from the dead and converting him to Christianity, turning thieves to stone, and blinding and then curing the leader. This last act produced a gift of land in gratitude, to be demarked by the route of a released hare. The hare, under divine guidance, marked the full extent of what is now the parish of Llanfechell, Anglesey, on which he then founded the monastery.〔
