Walter Jenkin Evans

Walter Jenkin Evans (1 April 1856 – 10 February 1927[1]) was a Welsh academic who served as Principal of Carmarthen Presbyterian College and who wrote about the history and people of Unitarianism in Carmarthen.

[1] After teaching in London and in Brighton from 1879 to 1884, he returned to Carmarthen Presbyterian College in 1884 as tutor in Latin and Greek.

In 1888, he became Principal (the appointment attracting some controversy at the time on theological grounds).

Whilst Evans published some research on Latin poetry (Alliteratio Latina, or Alliteration in Latin Verse, 1921), his main work was on the history of Unitarianism.

The National Library of Wales holds six manuscript volumes of his biographies and notes on the history of his denomination.
