Saint Teilo (Latin: Teliarus[2] or Teliavus; Breton: Teliau[2] or Telo; French: Télo[2] or Théleau; c. 500 – 9 February c. 560), also known by his Cornish name Eliud,[3] was a British Christian monk, bishop, and founder of monasteries and churches. He was from Penalun (Penally) near Tenby in Pembrokeshire, south Wales.
Reputed to be a cousin, friend, and disciple of Saint David, he was bishop of Llandaff and founder of the first church at Llandaff Cathedral, where his tomb is. He also founded Llandeilo Fawr, as well as Penally Abbey at his place of birth.
