Located on the corner of Newmarch Street and the B4601. This is not a medical hospital, but a hospital in the medieval sense of a charitable institution for the housing and maintenance of the needy. In 2018 administered by Games Hospital, a registered charity, the building provides accommodation for four elderly Brecon residents. The inscription on the roundel on the pediment shows the year 1720. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5999501
