Life

Huet, who was probably from Brecknockshire originally, is recorded as being a member of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge in 1544. He was Master of the College of the Holy Trinity, Pontefract when it was dissolved. Between 1559 and 1565, he was appointed to various church livings: he became rector of Cefnllys and Llanbadarn Fawr (both in Radnorshire and also prebendary of Llanbadarn Trefeglwys and Ystrad (both in Cardiganshire). He was precentor of St David's Cathedral from 1562 to 1588. Richard Davies, Bishop of St David's, recommended that Huet be appointed bishop of Bangor but this did not take place. Huet assisted Richard Davies and William Salesbury in the translation into Welsh of the New Testament in 1567, particularly the Book of Revelation.cite web| url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/14046| title=Huet, Thomas (d. 1591)| last=Roberts |first=Brynley F. |work=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (online edition, subscription access) |publisher=Oxford University Press| year=2004| accessdate=2008-02-27] In 1571, Huet was named in the charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I as one of the eight founding fellows of Jesus College, Oxford.
