"In the year 1866 a call was given to the Rev. John Davies of Sirhowy, Mon., which was accepted. The recognition services took place in September of that year. The following account of the event appeared in the "Dysgedydd" (Congregationalist) for November 1866:- "On Saturday night, September 29th, Mr. Jones, Wrexham, went through the opening service and sermons by the Revs. S. Edwards, Machynlleth, & W. Ambrose, Portmadoc. On Sunday morning, at 7-30 a prayer meeting was held and at 10 a.m. the Rev. John Davies opened the service, & Messrs. Edwards & Ambrose preached. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Recognition Meeting took place, when addresses were given by the Revs. S. Edwards & J. Jones, Smethcote, and letters of recommendation were read from the church at Sirhowy, and the Monmouthshire Association. Remarks were made about the difficulties of a Welsh minister in an English town by Mr. Edwards. The meetings were encouraging in every respect, and it was pleasing to notice the unanimity in every branch of the church; the congregation is on the increase, more interest taken in the Sunday school, and the church is progressing very favourably.
The Rev. John Davies is a native of Llansamlet, near Swansea. His parents, John & Margaret Davies, were distinguished for their piety, and he was especially indebted to his mother for the good impressions he received in his youth. He was received into church membership when only ten years of age, and commenced to preach when about seventeen. At the end of about twelve months, during which he exercised his talent in preaching on Sundays in the chapels of the neighbourhood, he went in 1855 to the Normal College, Swansea, which was at the time presided over by Dr. Evan Davies, a learned man and excellent schoolmaster. In 1856 he went to Bala College, which was then under the care of the Rev. M.D. Jones. In June 1858 he was received into Brecon College, where he earned for himself a good name as a successful student and an acceptable preacher. He had for his fellow students the late principal E. Herber Evans, D.D. of Bangor College, and Professor D. Rowlands, B.A., of Brecon College. At the end of his course he received a unanimous call from the Congregational church at Sirhowy, Monmouthshire, which was then, as it is now, one of the most influential churches in South Wales. His predecessor was the late Rev. Noah Stephens, afterwards of Liverpool, one of the ablest preachers of the past generation. Here he laboured with diligence until the year 1866, when he received a call from Shrewsbury. Though a Welsh pastorate in an English town is beset with many difficulties and discouragements, owing to the shifting nature of the congregation, and the difficulty of retaining the children, Mr. Davies stuck to his post for more than thirty years. In September 1896 he was compelled to resign on consequence of hill-health, to the great regret of his people, by whom he was greatly beloved. He was presented with a purse of gold on his retirement."
