In Cowl Street. A plaque on the wall proclaims that the Duke of Monmouth stayed here before his defeat at the Battle of Sedgemoor in July 1685. But according to Robin Bush, in Somerset, The Complete Guide, tradition has it that the duke lodged at Monmouth House, demolished in 1964. Longbridge House was occupied by a clothier in the late 18th century
