Founded in 1922 by the sisters and art patrons Margaret and Gwendoline Davies, guided by Thomas Jones,[3] the press was named after their mansion Gregynog Hall.
[9] In 1954 after the death of Gwendoline Davies, Margaret donated most of the machinery used by Gregynog Press to the National Library of Wales.
[5] The press was reopened under the Welsh title Gwasg Gregynog by the University of Wales in 1978, and production resumed.
[12] The press has been involved in several historic events in Wales in connection with the National Assembly.
[13] Later, in 2006, it bound a poem commissioned to mark the opening of the Senedd, the Assembly's permanent home, and written in calligraphy.
