State of Thomas Charles http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-CHAR-THO-1755.html which stands in front of Capel Tegid in Bala. The statue, by William Davies, was unveiled in 1872. Thomas Charles was one of the most prominent leaders of the Methodist movement in Wales. He settled in Bala in 1783 and is perhaps best known for his circulating Sunday school system and his role as one of the founders of the British and Foreign Bible Society (1804). He was responsible for editing the Society's first Welsh Bible.
