Baglan Hall was built sometime in the 16th century. Estimations of the hall being built are between 1558 - 1625. The first owner of Baglan Hall were the Thomas family but unfortunately, not a great deal is known about the family. The house was then sold to Thomas John Esq. who bequeathed the Hall to his daughter Catherine. Catherine married Thomas Jones Esq., and their only child Catharine, married Griffith Llewellyn Esq.

The Hall was demolished in 1958 with the grounds preserved by Port Talbot Borough Council. The grounds where the hall stood is now the houses in Maple Avenue and Baglan Park were the grounds of Baglan Hall.
