Castle Square Caernarfon. The statue is of Sir Hugh Owen (1804-1881) a civil servant and campaigner for education in Wales. He was an advocate for the development of British schools, was associated with the foundation in 1858 of Normal College, Bangor, the first college in Wales to admit the sons of non-conformist parents, and his work contributed to the Welsh Intermediate Education Act of 1889, which was to establish secondary schools in Wales. He is chiefly remembered, however, for his leadership of the campaign to found the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth, which was achieved in 1872.
