John Evan Thomas, FSA (15 January 1810 – 9 October 1873) was a Welsh sculptor, notable for many sculptures both in Wales and elsewhere in the UK, such as his portrait sculptures in London. He was especially notable for the ''Death of Tewdrig'' which was exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and for his two bronze statues of ''Henry de Loundres'' and ''William, Earl of Pembroke'' in the chamber of the House of Lords . ==Biography==
Thomas was born in Brecon, Wales the son of John Thomas of Castle Street in that town, and his wife Jane Evans of Aberedw in Radnor.〔Dictionary of British Sculptors 1660-1851, Rupert Gunnis〕 In 1857 he left his London practice and bought the small mansion, Penisha'r-Pentre, at Llansbyddid. He retained a studio in Pimlico in London. He was appointed High Sheriff of Brecknockshire in 1868. As a loyal Welshman, and with the support of Benjamin Hall, he was a prominent figure in the movement to stop misuse of endowments which had been given to Christ College, Brecon. He died on 9 October 1873 in London. He is buried on the eastern section of Brompton Cemetery, south of the main east-west path. The area is currently (2014) very overgrown but the monument is distinctive.
