Situated in West Street, this house became famous in 1685 when the Duke of Monmouth was imprisoned there after he had been captured, following his defeat at the Battle of Sedgemoor. This was the final chapter in an uprising which Monmouth led against the monarchy. He was eventually transferred to London where he was executed.
