Thomas Barclay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Barclay (21 November 1849 - 5 October 1935) was a British missionary to Formosa (Taiwan). His ministry in South Taiwan has been compared to the work done in North Taiwan by George Leslie Mackay. He founded Tainan Theological College in 1880.
Barclay is buried alongside several other missionaries in the Presbyterian section of a public cemetery in the southern part of Tainan City. To honor his contributions to the city, in 2004, the Tainan City Government renamed the Park No.18 (十八號公園) the Barclay Memorial Park (巴克禮紀念公園).
