Hanes
The South Wales Baptist College was founded at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, in 1807 by the Rev. Micah Thomas who acted as president until 1835. In 1836 it moved to Pontypool, Monmouthshire. It moved again in 1893 to Cardiff, Glamorgan, where a hostel in Richmond Road, previously used for women students attending the university was acquired. The College students were able to attend Cardiff University (formerly University College of Wales Cardiff). The College continues to teach religious and theological studies in partnership with Cardiff University.
The Rev. Micah Thomas was succeeded by Thomas Thomas (1805-1881) the first President of the Academy in Pontypool, from 1836 to 1876; the Rev. Dr William Edwards, president, 1880-1925, who oversaw the relocation of the college to Cardiff; the Rev. Thomas Phillips, Principal during the period 1928-1936, and the Rev. Thomas Williams Chance (1872-1954) Principal from 1936-1944.
