Number 4 Drybridge Street has 17th century origins but has been greatly altered and extended in the late 20th century. The walls are now rendered and painted, probably concealing some timber framing, all under a Welsh slate roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=2255 Monmouth is a market town at the confluence of the Rivers Monnow and Wye some 30 miles northeast of Cardiff. Although there is evidence of settlement in the Neolithic period, the town was established around the Norman castle which was the birthplace of King Henry V. The historic county town of Monmouthshire, the town is now a centre for Wye Valley tourism.
