Rolls Hall was built in 1887 as a general purpose hall, a gift to the town from J A Rolls, Lord Llangattock, to celebrate the golden jubilee of Queen Victoria. It was converted to be Monmouth Public Library in 1992. In a Jacobean style, it is constructed of squared sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings under a Welsh slate roof. Most original internal features remain. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=85213 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.
