Built around the mid 18th century, and in use for a long while between the 1890s and the mid 1950s as a Nurses' Home, Maternity Home and welfare centre. It then became part of the town boarding houses attached to the nearby Adams' Grammar School until the early 21st century; now up for sale since the school built new premises for the boarders nearby. The building was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101054363-127-high-street-newport#.YNOV6-hKjIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1054363 in 1952.
