The Horse and Jockey public house is sited at the junction of Wylcwm Street, Wylcwm Place and Station Road. The building, in a U shaped courtyard plan, has medieval origins with 18th and 19th century additions and alterations including the incorporation of the former stables. Constructed of rendered brick and whitewashed stone, all under a mixture of slate and tile roofs. Some early internal features remain. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=9029 Knighton is a somewhat remote market town gaining its charter in 1203. It is sited on the River Teme some 60 miles north of Cardiff. It lies on the Welsh/English border, with a small part in Shropshire, including its railway station. Originally an Anglo-Saxon settlement, Knighton is located on Offa's Dyke, the ancient earthwork that divided the two countries. It later became a Norman defensive border town.
