  • This is a letter written by Charles de Gaulle, the uncle of the famous Charles de Gaulle who became President of France. It was written to the Rev. John Peter (Ioan Pedr), a colleague of the Rev. Michael D. Jones at Bala Independent College. Charles de Gaulle was a Celtic scholar of some note. In this letter, he discusses the various articles and books which he has written on Celtic subjects. He informs Ioan Pedr that he has sent one of his books to him and that he will send some more pamphlets soon. He does not think that his works are of any real worth, but he sends them as a token of his thanks and respect to Ioan Pedr.

  • This statue of the Rev. Thomas Charles (1755-1814) by William Davies (Mynorydd) was unveiled in 1872. It stands outside the Calvinistic Methodist chapel in the town of Bala. 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 and up to his death in 1814 he published and distributed some 320,000 books to his scholars.
