Mary Jones World ({{lang-cy|Byd Mary Jones}}) is a small heritage centre located in Llanycil near Bala, Gwynedd, Wales.[1] Situated on the north shore of Bala Lake, it provides information on Mary Jones, a fifteen-year-old girl from Llanfihangel-y-Pennant. After she had saved her money for six years, in 1800 Jones walked 26 miles to buy a Welsh language Bible, which were very rare in those days. The heritage centre is an initiative of the British and Foreign Bible Society[2] and was opened on 5 October 2014 at a cost of £1.3 million in the former village church which was dedicated to Saint Beuno.[3] It is open daily from April to October from 10am to 5pm with free visitor parking and a café. School group visits are encouraged and there is a children's play area next to the centre.[4] References1. ^The centre on visitbala.org 2. ^[https://www.biblesociety.org.uk/latest/news/see-the-story-behind-the-development-mary-jones-world/ Article on the Bible Society website] 3. ^{{cite news |author= |title=Bala centre celebrates Mary Jones' Bible walk |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-29475230 |work=BBC News Online |date=5 October 2014 |access-date=18 March 2019}} 4. ^[https://www.visitmidwales.co.uk/Bala-Mary-Jones-World/details/?dms=3&venue=1150182 The centre on visitmidwales.co.uk] External links
