The saint shown is Saint Tecwyn. (The 'D' of Decwyn is a mutation in Welsh, as in Llandecwyn, so should revert to a 'T' here.) (It's not Tegwyn or Degwyn - the 'g' is either a mediaeval variation, or a feminisation: making it a girl's name!).

Editor's response: thanks for your comment on this window. I have changed the title and text to read Tecwyn as you correctly note the mutation. When I first added this window I wasn't aware that personal names underwent mutations like this, but have come across this subsequently. I did not know the merits of using Tecwyn/Tegwyn, but the latter is preferred in The Lives of the British Saints by Baring-Gould and Fisher, and they certainly regard him as male.
