Grade II listed Grosmont Town Hall

It may seem incongruous that the village of Grosmont, population about 300, has a town hall. The original town hall was a timber structure built in the Middle Ages when Grosmont was reputed to have been for a time the third-largest settlement in South Wales. The present town hall dates from the 1830s, at a time when Grosmont still had a mayor. It is now used by Grosmont Community Council which covers a large area of thinly-populated North East Monmouthshire. There are four council wards, Grosmont, Llangua, Llangattock Lingoed and Llanvetherine, with a total population of c600. The town hall was Grade II listed in March 1981.
