George Lawrence Davis (1830–1894) was commended to Madrid (Spain) from Leominster (Herefordshire) in 1863 to preach the gospel.

For some years he traveled through Spain with a Bible Carriage, dubbed "the armored vehicle".

[1] After an escape from being shot at, he moved to Gràcia (Barcelona), where he established free schools for children and adults.

Looking for healthcare, he came to Caldes de Montbui, a spa town near Barcelona, where he settled.

Here he founded and directed a school known as "Escola dels Pobres" and a church called "Església Evangèlica Caldes de Montbui".
