In the year 1800 Mary Jones at the age of 16 walked from Llanfihangel-y-Pennant to Bala to procure a copy of a Welsh Bible from the Rev. Thomas Charles B.A. This incident led to the formation of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The monument was erected by subscription from the Sunday Schools of Merionethshire.
