This large house was built circa 1600, refronted and greatly altered circa 1800 at which time it was divided into three properties - numbers 18, 20 and 22 Drybridge Street. Originally timber framed and rebuilt in brick and stone under a slate roof. Some original internal features remain including a circa 1600 stone fireplace in number 22. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=2257 (number 18), at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=2258 (number 20) and at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=85066 (number 22). 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.
