Daniel Rowland (1730-1790) was a Welsh Calvinistic Methodist preacher whose "fire and brimstone" style of preaching was so frightening that the Anglican authorities expelled him. Nevertheless, he turned Llangeitho into a centre for Calvinistic Methodism in Wales, his later ministry being more concerned with the "saving" powers of Jesus on the cross. The fine statue is by Edward Griffith of Chester and was unveiled in 1883. It is on the site of Rowland's original chapel, near the present rebuilt one.
